Getting used to Exchange 2007

I've had to roll out an Exchange 2007 upgrade at one of my clients and it did not go well. I can't believe how much Microsoft changed the interface around. I can't find anything! Exchange 2007 is no longer tightly integrated with Active Directory users and computers so you don't get "exchange tasks" options or any way to assign a mailbox to a new user inside AD. The paradigm has shifted to "adjust Active Directory inside Exchange Manager"

The documentaiton is less than ideal as well. I strongly recommend waiting until SP1 to do serious deployments.
