Thanks for the reply, Al.  Not sure what you want with the first question,
but I'll try to be as concise as possible.

I checked the properties for the public folders and the OAB Version 2 is in
the instances folder.  The client permissions for the under the folders
EX:/o=Organization/ou=Site, OAB Version 2, which is the OFFLINE ADDRESS
BOOK, and OAB Version 2 folders, have client permissions of owner for the
exchange administration account and reviewer for anonymous. There is nothing
under the OAB Version 2 folder.  I found an article that said to use
Mdbvu32.exe to locate the Offline Address Book, but I'm running 5.5 and this
program doesn't appear to be on that CD.

Laptop users just get an error message in the synchronization log for the
Offline Address Book when they try to do a full synchronization:  
Microsoft Exchange offline address book
0X8004010F

This was working up until Thursday when I became aware of it.  I haven't
made any changes

What exactly is the setting on the Exchange server?  There's more buttons
than that, but curious what you have setup.  

Also, what happens when you remove the OAB from the laptop user and then try
to download again?  

Was this working before and then stopped?  If so, what changed???

Forgive the reposting, but up until this morning I would have considered no
reponses the result of no one else having the answer either.  Now I have to
question whether my question is "too basic" to be answered by those more
experienced than I.  Can anyone provide a suggestion on where to proceed,
please.

Subject: Laptop users are unable to download offline address book


For some reason my laptop users are unable to download the offline address
book.  After trying, when they open it, it is blank.  I have selected in
Exchange to have the OAB generated from the Global Address book, that didn't
work.  I have also created another recipients container and pointed OAB
generation to that container, still no go.  Running Exchange 5.5SP4 on Win2K
server.  Could the OAB on the server be corrupt, and is there a way to
deleted the OAB that was generated on the server and recreate it?  I can
find nothing on this subject except deleting OABs on the laptops themselves,
nothing on the OAB generated on the server.
