Hi, I understand that OAB cannot generate on Exchange 2010 Server. I suggest to delete the original OAB and recreate the Default Offline Address List and make Mailbox Database point to the OAB. After that, please restart the System Attendant service and check this issue. If the issue persists, please capture the trace of the OAB generating and then send to me. Please run Extra.exe from the Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Bin a. Select Start troubleshooting b. Select Trace Control and click OK on the ExTRA warning dialog that lets you know that the tracing can cause performance degradation. c. Configure the trace file. NOTE: By default, the trace is set to run for only 300 seconds. For this reason, its best to turn off this setting. d. Click on Set manual Trace tags - For Trace Types select: PFD, Fatal, Error, Warning, Info, Debug, Performance, Function - For Component to Trace highlight: PtTrace - For Trace Tags Select: dsa_oabgen e. Click on on Start Trace to start the tracing. f. Next, open Exchange Management Shell and type Update-OfflineAddressBook -Identity <OAB Name> and reproduce this issue, after receiving the error in the event log, please stop the trace.

Thank for Xiu Zhang's reply. I have solved this issue. 1. Delete all OABs, include the default OAB. 2. Add a new OAB as the default OAB. 3. In the OAB, add the default GAL, and the other Address Lists. 4. Unfortunately, the issue as usual. In the Windows Event Viewer, a Error ID=4999 MSExchange Common. 5. In the OAB, delete all Address Lists but the defauly GAL. 6. All OK. 7. So, recreate all Address Lists, and add to the OAB. 8. All OK.
