Hello

i successfully upgraded my exchange 2007 SP3 RU10 organization to Exchange 2013 CU2v2.
Exchange 2007 server has been uninstalled so there is now only one multirole Exchange 2013 CU2v2 server.
I'm unable to update the offline address book.
When i launch update-offlineaddress book, i get the following event MSExchangeMailboxAssistants 17004.
Outlook clients get an error during download.

MSExchangeMailboxAssistants / 17004

Any idea ?

Thx

Hi,

Please create a new OAB object, set all the mailbox database to the new OAB object. Then lets check whether  the issue still persists.

Thanks,

If you have feedback for TechNet Subscriber Support, contact tnsfl@microsoft.com

Hi,

i created a new offline address book.
I get the same error during update.
I also created a new address list which match one user.
I set this new address list to the new oab. it didn't help.
And to finish i let only DisplayName in configuredAttributes but i didn't help too.

Regards

I found the problem

in AD configuration partition, i had some conflict entries under the following path:

CN=Address-Templates,CN=Addressing,CN=Premire organisation,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local

ie: 

dn: CN=402\0ACNF:76da93e6-fa67-4923-be5d-248ca7b2c1b0,CN=Address-Templates,CN=Addressing,CN=Premire organisation,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local

After cleaning up these entries, OAB generation works fine.

This worked for me after much head scratching, thanks WeetA!

I ran ADSIEDIT and deleted about 5 entries that contained the OACNF.... string. Regenerated OAB and Voila!

Cheers,

Ian

We are having the exact same issue, however, we do not have any 0ACNF entries in our Address-Templates. they all appear clean. Any other thoughts? 

we also have the same issue

i cant generate oab get this error
