Hi, I have several exchange errors and would appreciate any help to solve them. This is SBS 2008 SP2, with Exchange Server 2007 SP1 Version: 08.01.0240.006, here are errors 1- Process MSExchangeFDS.exe (PID=3936). Could not find file \\IMC-004\ExchangeOAB\cf63d242-a823-4b80-93f7-7a4714519dc7\oab.xml. This is normal if the file has never been generated. Otherwise, make sure this file has read permission for the "Exchange Servers" group. (Event ID 1022) 2- When I open Exchange console with Domain Admin (With local admin I don't have this sort of trouble) account it shows that : Active Directory server (name) is not available, Error Message. A local error occured, it was running commands get recipient - ResultSize '1000' ..... and after that error follow -------------------------------------------------------- 3-Microsoft Exchange Error -------------------------------------------------------- The following error(s) were reported while loading topology information: get-ExchangeServer Failed Error: Active Directory server IMC-004.IMC.local is not available. Error message: A local error occurred. A local error occurred. get-UMServer Failed Error: Active Directory server IMC-004.IMC.local is not available. Error message: A local error occurred. A local error occurred. -------------------------------------------------------- OK -------------------------------------------------------- As a result of this I cannot do anything, nothing is listed. I read somewhere that I need to delete and recreate admin account, but I think that is little to hush, is there any other way. 4- error in outlook during synchronization , probably because of the first error <time> Microsoft Exchange offline address book <time> Not downloading Offline address book files. A server (URL) could not be located <time> 0x8004010F use to be 0x80072F06 but recently changed When I try to update address book, it shows two more errors => OALGen encountered error 80040115 while initializing the offline address list generation process. No offline address lists have been generated. Please check the event log for more information. - /o=IMC/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List Event ID 9334 => OALGen encountered error 80040115 (internal ID 50004ef) accessing Active Directory IMC-004 for ''. - /o=IMC/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List Event ID 9330

Hi, Apparently, the failed connectivity of the DC (IMC-004.IMC.local) should be the culprit of the issue. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dgoldman/archive/2007/11/15/oab-generation-fails-to-generate-with-errors-9330-and-9334.aspx Please ensure the connectivity of the DC is fine, use the DCDiag command to check it. Thanks AllenAllen Song

please re-start the microsoft exchange ad toplogy service if you have multiple DCs, a good dc will atutomatically be selected then, increae diagnostic logging for Msexchangesa\OAL generator http://blogs.technet.com/b/julian/archive/2007/01/08/turning-up-the-diagnostic-logging-in-exchange-2007.aspx then update the offline address book and check the events in eventviewer on exchange server and post errors here Dhruv

I already increased diagnostic logging, although I don't know how to see results.If it is just in Event viewer then I have only these two errors OALGen encountered error 80040115 while initializing the offline address list generation process. No offline address lists have been generated. Please check the event log for more information. - /o=IMC/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List Event ID 9334 => OALGen encountered error 80040115 (internal ID 50004ef) accessing Active Directory IMC-004 for ''. - /o=IMC/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List Event ID 9330

sorry i missed this is a SBS, "OALGen encountered error 80040115 (internal ID 50004ef) accessing Active Directory " please check if you have unchecked the IPV6.. if so check the ipv6 box on network properties of this server, ensure that the server lists its own ip as dns server (for external resolution user forwarder to isp) Dhruv

I disabeld IPv6 but properly with registry editing ... How do I check if it is in the list for external resolution user forwarder to isp ??

Thanks Allen Allen Song Alexandar, did you check the link Allen Song posted? Was it the same issue?Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Hi Jonas , I read Allen post but I didn't solved problem. Yes definitely those are errors but as solutions are 1. DNS entry = there is MX entry with correct IP of SBS server 2. Duplicate addresses = there are no duplicated addresses 3. DS server registry key is not used 4. Permissions = I first only check permissions and they are listed as in the article, but just in case I've run [PS] C:\Windows\System32>Add-ADPermission $container -User "Authenticated Users" -AccessRights GenericRead, ListChildren -ExtendedRights Open-Address-Book WARNING: Appropriate ACE is already present on object "CN=Default GlobalAddress List,CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=IMC,CN=MicrosoftExchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=IMC,DC=local" for account "NTAUTHORITY\Authenticated Users".

False False ReadProperty \Default Global A... NT AUTHORITY\Auth... False False ListObject, Generi... \Default Global A... NT AUTHORITY\Auth... False False ListChildren After I've run [PS] C:\Windows\System32>Update-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "Default Offline Address List" -vb VERBOSE: Update-OfflineAddressBook : Beginning processing. VERBOSE: Update-OfflineAddressBook : Searching objects "Default Offline Address List" of type "OfflineAddressBook" under the root "$null". VERBOSE: Update-OfflineAddressBook : Previous operation run on domain controller 'IMC-004.IMC.local'. VERBOSE: Update-OfflineAddressBook : Processing object "\Default Offline Address List".

VERBOSE: Update-OfflineAddressBook : Previous operation run on domain controller 'IMC-004.IMC.local'. VERBOSE: Updating offline address book "Default Offline Address List". VERBOSE: Update-OfflineAddressBook : Ending processing. But after this command in Event veiwer 9330 and 9334 errors appeared.

I see here VERBOSE: Update-OfflineAddressBook : Searching objects "IMC-001\First Storage Group\Public Folder Store (IMC-001)" of type "PublicFolderDatabase" under the root "$null". he is trying to access old SBS 2003 server . Can this be the problem ???

Do a little test here Start adsiedit.msc go to Configuration _> Services -> Microsoft Exchange -> Administrative Groups -> Exchange Administrative Groups -> Folder Hierarchies and take properties of Public Folders Check the attribute msExchOwningPFTreeBL, where does it point?Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

So when I go to Configuration - Services - Microsoft Exchange - CN=DOMAIN - Administrative groups > I have here 2 CNs 1 Exchange Admin Group (public folder doesn't exist here) - Advance Security - Routing Groups - Servers (Here I have CN of new SBS 2008) 2 First administrative group - Adv. Sec. - Policies - Routing Groups - Servers (Here I have CN of old SBS 2003 not present in the network any more) - Folder Hierarchy - Public folders (when I go here attribute msExchOwningPFTreeB doesn't exist )

I went to public folder management and to offline address book folder, choose properties to entry - /o=IMC/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List (the one that is listed in event viewer) choose Exchange general tab from properties and there wa error that Alias is not good. this is Alias (as is) Offline Address Book - /o=IMC/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Of Also replication is chosen to be on old SBS 2003 server First storage group Can I delete replica and how can I repair Alias , and can that be the problem why I can't update OAB ??
