hey guys,

we have a single exchange 2007 server and after making some changes to the Gobal Address Book and updating the OAB i still can't see the changes that I've made in outlook.

Yes, before you ask, I have downloaded the OAB after I updated it.

I know that if I leave it for 24hours and then download the OAB again it works, but for the purpose of what I'm doing I need to see the changes today in outlook.

Any suggestions always welcome!!

Thanks in advance :)
 
How to rebuild an Offline Address List through the Microsoft Exchange Scripting Console
1. Type Update-OfflineAddressBook –Identity “Default Offline Address List”

NOTE: This will generate the Default Offline Address List. Again by default you will not see any output if the Offline Address List has been generates successfully.

OPTIONAL COMMNAD: You can also run Update-OfflineAddressBook –Identity “Default Offline Address List” -vb to output the information in verbose mode.

(verbose output)
VERBOSE: Beginning the task's processing.
VERBOSE: Processing one object in the task.
VERBOSE: Searching configurable objects "Default Offline Address List" of type "OfflineAddressBook" under the root "$null" on Source "DC1.fourthcoffee.com".
VERBOSE: Validating the configurable object "\Default Offline Address List".
VERBOSE: Searching configurable objects "E12-MBX" of type "Server" under the root "$null" on Source "DC1.fourthcoffee.com".
VERBOSE: Ending the task's processing.
 
good man cheers,

is this something I can do live? I guess it is as the OAB is held on poeples machines and this new OOAB won't be download till you do the whole download thing from outlook.
