Hi,

Based on this error, please try the following steps to solve this issue:

1. Open the EMC 2010 and browse to the Toolbox, double-click on the Public Folder Management console.
2. In the tree navigate to System Public Folders > OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK.
3. In the window pane right-click and go to the properties of your OAB causing the errors.
4. Choose the Exchange General tab and remove any " " (spaces) from the Alias.
5. Save your changes and try to run "Get-GlobalAddressList | Update-GlobalAddressList" to update GAL.

Best Regards.
