Creating a large number of mailboxes on Exchange 2003

I have about 750 users that I am going to create mailboxes for. Should I sleep a bit between creation so as not to overload the exchange server, or does it not matter? I have read that the actual mailbox is not created until the user contacts it or receives mail. I am using CDOEXM and DirectoryServices in .NET 2.0.

Imports System.DirectoryServices
Imports CDOEXM

Dim mbx As IMailboxStore = user.NativeObject
mbx.CreateMailbox(store)
user.CommitChanges()

I would just go for it. I would not expect only 750 to cause any kind of operational problem on anything that looks like a modern server.

Exchage puts off most of the work until the user logs in for the first time, so creating mailboxes shouldn't work that hard.
