That sounds like a long time to me, but that would be one big OAB. I would move the OAB generation to the Exchange 2010 server.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi How is your result? Is it still processing? Is there any error there? As Ed's suggestion, if you rebuld on Exchange 2010, it would be much more quickly. Here is an article talking about quick rebuild Exchange 2010 Offline Address Book, perhaps you can have a look. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7725.how-to-quick-rebuild-exchange-2010-offline-address-book.aspxZi Feng TechNet Community Support

Hi All, the result, until now it still processing from the event log, there's no error event. mostly the event logged are: event ID: 8162 Thread #26d8: waiting for next Address List transaction. fqdn domain event ID: 8133 Calculations complete on 'CN=username. DC=fqdn domain and many other Information type event ID. we tried to move the OAB generation to exchange 2010, but somehow exchange 2003 users couldnt access it because public folder issue. so we decided to change it back to exchange 2003 as the generation server, but the OAB generation havent finished yet now it almost 3 days and generation havent finished yet. i think its not normal, so we will change the OAB generation server to exchange 2010, then try to troubleshoot the public folder problem.

When you move the OAB generation to Exchange 2010, you must make sure that you have replicas of the OAB folders on both Exchange 2003 and 2010 servers.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
