New users are not showing up in the GAL on Outlook clients. If I switch to the All Users address list, the new users do show up. They also do show up via OWA. Downloading the address book in Outlook generates the following error: "0x8004010F. The operation failed. An object cannot be found." Also, FYI, we just migrated from Exchange 2003 that was part of Small Business Server to Exchange 2010. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I believe you are using Web base distribution method for generate OAB. You can also generate OAB in EMC.

hi, check your database properties and client tab for OAB assignment to database. if not assign it to database. then update your OAB and download it at the client side from outlook. regards, Mumin CICEK | www.cozumpark.com | Please click Vote As Helpful if it is helpful for you and Propose as Answer!!!

Hi, From the problem description, I understand that new created users are not displayed in the OAB on the Outlook client. However, the new user could show up in the OWA. So the issue could be related to the OAB. Firstly, we need to check whether the users have been set the msExchHideFromAddressLists = 1. If so, please change it to the 0. Firstly, I suggest that you could run the following command in the Exchange Management Shell on your OAB generation server: Set-EventLogLevel “MSExchangeSA\OAL Generator” -Level “Expert” Then run the following command to update the offline address book: Update-OfflineAddressBook -identity “Your Offline Address Book Name” Finally, verify whether the Event ID 9107 has been recorded in the application logging file or not.

Are the outlook users working in offline mode? Regards, Sree

James... unfortunately I have been swamped with other projects and haven't had the opportunity to try any of these fixes. I will hopefully delve into this over the weekend and report back. Sree... we are using Outlook in Cached Exchange Mode. Thanks.

Quick Check. Can you confirm whether the email address mentioned in the AD object and the Primary email address are same? If not it wont apear in GAL. I experienced this. Please check this as well

Hi Folks. Thanks for the replies. No luck yet, but I still have some suggestions to try. Here is what I know so far... Rajkumar, how do I know which email address is primary? The Exchange Email Addresse tab shows two email addresses, one that is .com and one that is .local. However, neither is labeled as primary. The AD General tab shows the .com address. James, I ran the Update-OfflineAddressBook -identity command. I did get the 9107 event ID. This didn't make a difference. I wasn't sure about how to check whether the users have been set the msExchHideFromAddressLists = 1. Can you provide me with any additional details?

Primary Email-address shows in bold in Email address field TAB. To set msExchHideFromAddressLists = 0, Type below cmdlet in PS console and then verify OAB in outlook. set-mailbox "user " -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabeld $false Anil MCC 2011,ITIL V3,MCSA 2003,MCTS 2010, My Blog : http://messagingschool.wordpress.com

remove the space and add a colon, like this: set-mailbox elee -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabeld:$false You also need to make sure one address is the primary address on the mailbox.DJ Grijalva | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 SPA 2010 | www.persistentcerebro.com

On the client, check to make sure that it's not setup to use "cache Exchange Mode".

On the client, check to make sure that it's not setup to use "cache Exchange Mode". If I turn off Cached Exchange Mode, the missing users do show up in the GAL. As soon as a I turn Cached Exchange Mode back on, these same users all disappear from GAL.

Thanks. Are you copying and pasting that string from a web page? Try typing the entire thing yourself and correcting the typo at the end of the parameter name. You've misspelled "Enabled" by transposing the letters "e" and "l". --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Thanks Rich. I was copying and pasting. So, catching that typo got the command to run correctly. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the issue. The user is still not showing up in the GAL and I am still seeing error 0x8004010F when downloading the address book.

The user is still not showing up in the GAL and I am still seeing error 0x8004010F when downloading the address book. Well, not showing up in the GAL and not showing up in the OAB are two different problems. The problem you just described is a problem downloading the OAB, not a problem with the mailbox not being present in the GAL or OAB! Are you using Public Folders or the CAS to distribute the OAB? If it's the CAS, make sure that the OAB is present in the folders used by the CAS (you should see them in the IIS manager). If ther folder's there but the contents hasn't been updated in a while it's probably a permission problem on the folder. The OAB Generation Server has to transfer the OAB files to the CAS and that may not be working. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Rich. Pardon my ignorance... can you tell me what the CAS is? Also, to clarify... in Outlook, when I choose Send Receive Groups > Download Address Book and set the drop down to \Global Address List I get the 0x8004010F error message. Also, new users do show up when I choose All Address Lists > All Users. They just aren't showing up in the Global Address List, which is very confusing to our users since GAL is the default option in the Select Names dialog box. Thanks!

You're not looking at the GAL (Global Address List), you're looking at the OAB (Offline Address Book). Take your Outlook client out of cached-mode and I'll bet you see everything. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Take your Outlook client out of cached-mode and I'll bet you see everything. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP Well, the certainly managed to confuse me by having it listed as the Global Address List. :-) Anyway, you are correct that once I turn off cached-mode, all of the missing users appear. So, what does that mean? Is the solution to stop using cached-mode on all of our client workstations, or is there some way to fix this while still using cached-mode? Thanks!!
