Hello All;I have a problem i created new users with new email addresses, they are not shown in the address book of outlook although the checkbox for hide from address book is not checked, Also when i search for the name with the advanced search i can find the name only when i search by the first name but not with the display nameAny solution for that

Hi,Which version of Exchange do you use?Are you able to see user in OWA? Yes, then check below article...New user does not show up in GALhttp://www.exchangepedia.com/blog/2005/11/new-user-does-not-show-up-in-gal.htmlAmit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Hello;I am using Exchange 2003, and outlook 2007, in cached mode, I am suspecting the OAB but i made a rebuild and I had the server hangs , and i had to restart it 2 days agoI can find the names from webmail.

Hello again;I have checked the the OAB again, i found that last updated on 26/2/2009 although the schedual is on the default satus 04:00 am every day!!!!!!!!!

Hi,Do you get any error in evnet log regarding to OAB? Post it here, if you get any otherwise increase the diagnostics logging of OAL on your server and see if you find any error...How to increase the diagnostic logging...- Start Microsoft Exchange System Manager.- If administrative groups are enabled, expand Administrative Groups, and then expand the administrative group that contains the Exchange server that generates the offline address list.- Expand Servers, right-click the Exchange server that generates the offline address list with which you experience this problem, and then click Properties.- In the ServerName Properties dialog box, click the Diagnostics Logging tab.- In the Services list, click MSExchangeSA, click OAL Generator in the Categories list, click Maximum, and then click OK.Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Hello;I get this error OALGen encountered error 80004005 while opening the base offline address list public folder. Please make sure that a public folder replica exists.Event ID: 9333

How many Exchange servers do you have? Is Public Folder store running and mounted?Follow first 5 steps available in below KB under "Rehome the Offline Address Book folder" and verify in Replication Tab that which public folder is holding OAB copy. If it has PF server DB which doesn't exist in your organization or no replica then add a PF database which is currently available in your org.http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822931Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

We only one exchange server that holds the database, and i checked the PF it isrunning and mounted, also the DB files are on the correct pathAlso the PF on the FIrst Storage is set to Default offline address book,

Did you verify public folder replica of various OAB version exists and points to PF DB as mentioned earlier?Reference:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Exchange&ProdVer=6.5.7596.0&EvtID=9333&EvtSrc=MSExchangeSA&LCID=1033Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Hello;What are the risks to change the replica under replication tab (folders) in a life environment???

Well, if it is not pointing to correct PF DB then you need to correct it and there isn't any risk involved in it and your OAB is already stopped working.Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
