How to set OAB generation schedule to "Never" or "Always" in Exchange 2013

  Dear all, thanks for viewing this question, any help is appreciate. 

In exchange 2010, I can set OAB generation schedule to "Never" or "Always" with commands like this:

Set-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "\Default Offline Address Book" -Schedule never

Set-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "\Default Offline Address Book" -Schedule always

But in exchange 2013, it seems that these command don't work. And to set the OAB generation schedule, Exchange 2013 use command like this:

Set-MailboxServer -Identity MBXServer01 -OABGeneratorWorkCycle 01.00:00:00 -OABGeneratorWorkCycleCheckpoint 06:00:00

How to set the generation schedule to "Never/Always"?

Hi,

As you mentioned, we have to use OABGeneratorWorkCycle and OABGeneratorWorkCycleCheckpoint parameter to modify the schedule of OAB in Exchange 2013.
In Exchange 2013, the OAB is generated by each Exchange 2013 Mailbox server(s) that hosts a special type of arbitration mailbox, called organization mailbox. OAB generation is not bound by the Server parameter anymore. More details about Managing OAB in Exchange Server 2013, for your reference:

we can run following command to customize schedule:
Set-MailboxServer -Identity MBXServer01 -OABGeneratorWorkCycle 01.00:00:00 -OABGeneratorWorkCycleCheckpoint 06:00:00
Note: we have to assign relevant permission before run this command, especially Organization Management and Server Management.
