Take a look at the attached Microsoft articles, they could help.
Question: Did you ever change the default address lists at any time?? because
if you did you might have a big problem. I had the same events logged after
changing some of the default address lists and Microsoft recommended a clean
install of Exchange. They said that you never should change or delete the
default lists!! so why have the option available in the first place??!!!

Subject: [exchangelist] No offline address list is available to
download.
http://www.MSExchange.org/
When I try to create an offline address list on a client PC I get a sync
problem the only error message I receive is
13:12:38 Microsoft Exchange offline address book
13:12:38 0X80004005
I get the following error message on the server when the server attempts to
create the list.
OALGen encountered error [0x80040402] while calculating this OAL. This OAL
will not be available for client download.
Can anyone tell me what I have to do to fix this problem??

ID: Q286328 CREATED: 22-JAN-2001 MODIFIED: 04-MAR-2001
:
PUBLIC | kberrmsg
======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you click Download Address Book on the Synchronization menu in Microsoft
Outlook, no address books are listed. Additionally, when you start the Exchange
System Manager, the offline Address Book is not generated.
The following message is reported in the Windows NT Event Viewer application
log:
Event ID: 9127
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeSA
Event Category: OAL Generator
Description:
OALGen encountered error [0x80004005] while calculating the OALs.
CAUSE
=====
This issue can occur if you did not enter a public folder store for the offline
Address Book that it can replicate its contents to. By default, the offline
Address Book replicates its contents to the public folder store of the server on
which it is installed. If the public folder store is removed from the offline
Address Book's replication configuration, then the symptoms that are described
in the preceding section occur.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue:
1. Start the Exchange System Manager, click Administrative Groups, and then
click Folders.
2. Right-click Public Folders, and then click View System Folders.
3. Click to expand the "offline Address Book" object.
4. Click Properties, click the Replication tab, and then verify that a public
folder store is entered in the "Replicate content to these public stores"
box.
5. If a public folder store is not listed, click Add, and then enter the
appropriate public store for the offline Address Book.
6. Click Apply, and then click OK.
7. Click to expand "o=org/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List".
8. Right-click offline Address Book Version 2 and click Properties.
9. Click the Replication tab and verify that a public folder store is entered in
the "Replicate content to these public stores" box.
10. If a public folder store is not listed, click Add, and then enter the
appropriate public store for the offline Address Book.
11. Click Apply, and then click OK.

IMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry.
Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you
understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information
about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, click the following
article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
SYMPTOMS
========
In Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack 2 (SP2), when you try to generate an
offline address list that is based on the Global Address List or on any other
existing address list, the list may not be generated. The following information
is recorded in the Application log:
Event ID: 9108
Event Type: Information
Event Source: MSExchangeSA
Event Category: (13)
Description: Offline Address List is being generated for \Global Address
List.
Event ID: 9126
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeSA
Event Category: (13)
Description: OALGen encountered error [0x80004005] while calculating this
OAL.
This OAL will not be available for client download. (\Global Address List)
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur if the relevant registry key contains an invalid DS
Server value that is specified with the name of a particular domain
controller/global catalog server. The relevant registry key is:
H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider
You can use this registry entry on a client computer to load-balance or to
specify which domain controller/global catalog server the Outlook client
connects to. However, if this value is incorrect on an Exchange 2000 Server SP2
computer, generation of an offline address list generation does not succeed.
RESOLUTION
==========
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems
that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To resolve this behavior, delete the DS Server value from the Exchange Provider
key. Make sure that you remove the entire value from the key, not just the value
data. Follow these steps:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the DS Server value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider
3. Click the DS Server value, click Edit, and then click Delete. Click Yes to
confirm the deletion.
4. Quit Registry Editor.

SYMPTOMS
========
If you try to generate an offline address list from the global address list or

Event Type: Information
Event Source: MSExchangeSA
Event ID: 9108
Description:
Offline Address List is being generated for \Global Address List.
CAUSE
=====
There are several causes for this issue. These causes include:
- Exchange 2000 cannot find details, address, or display templates because of
an incorrect legacyExchangeDN value.
- During an unsuccessful installation of or removal of Exchange 2000, orphaned
Display-Templates were left in the following container:
CN=LostAndFoundConfig,CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,DC=com
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue:
1. Look for orphaned Display-Templates. To do so, you have to use ADSI Edit.
WARNING: If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other LDAP
version 3 client and incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory
objects, you can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and/or Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect
modification of Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify
these attributes at your own risk.
To look for orphaned Display-Templates:
a. Start ADSI Edit, and then locate the LostandFoundConfig container in the
Configuration container:
CN=LostAndFoundConfig,CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,DC=com
b. Right-click the orphaned Display-Template, and then click Delete.
c. After you delete these entries, use Active Directory Sites and Services to
force replication throughout the domain.
d. In Exchange System Manager, right-click the Offline Address List, and then
click Rebuild.
e. If you still cannot generate the offline address list, proceed to step 2.
2. Check the legacyExchangeDN value:
a. Start ADSI Edit, and then locate the following container:
Configuration\Services\Microsoft
Exchange\<Organization_Name>\Administrative Group\First Administrative
Group\Servers\<Server_Name>\Microsoft System Attendant
b. Click Microsoft System Attendant, right-click Microsoft System Attendant,
and then click Properties.
c. In the "Select a property to view" list, locate the legacyExchangeDN
attribute.
d. Start a second session of ADSI Edit, and then locate the following
container:
Configuration\Services\Microsoft
Exchange\<Organization_Name>\Addressing
Under the Addressing container, there are three additional containers:
- Address-Templates
- Address-Types
- Display-Templates
e. Click Address-Templates, right-click Address-Templates, and then click
Properties.
f. In the "Select a property to view" list, locate the legacyExchangeDN
attribute. Compare the value in this field to the legacyExchangeDN of the
Microsoft system attendant.
g. If the organization names in the legacyExchangeDN attributes do not match,
edit the legacyExchangeDN attribute of the Address-Template object in
order to set the same organization name as in the legacyExchangeDN
attribute of the system attendant object.
h. Check the legacyExchangeDN values of the Address-Types and Display
Templates. If the legacyExchangeDN values do not match, correct them.
i. In Exchange System Manager, right-click the Offline Address List, and then
click Rebuild.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To monitor the activity that occurs when the offline address list is rebuilt,
increase the diagnostic logging to maximum on the following object in the
offline address list server properties:
