Hi , I have two offline address book.One is the default and second I created. I have two storage groups having two databases each.The default created database in first storage group is not showing which Offline address book it is using .If I go into the properties of this mailbox database and go to Client settings and check Offline Address Book,it is blank.But for rest of the mailbox databases it is showing the address book it is using. Now my question is -- 1) Do I have to manually enter the OAB for default created mailbox database? 2) There are how many ways to check which OAB a user is using?Of course one way to check is from mailbox database.

Thanks Mhussain

you can use the set-mailboxdatabase command to specify the offlineaddress book secondly you can use the exchange management console so specify the offline address book user should use Dhruv

you can use the cmdlet set-mailboxdatabse to specify the offline address book and you can do the same from console as well secondly check the attribute "msexchuseOAB" for the user to see what OAB are they assigned Thank yoDhruv

Dear Actually when you create new database, database would use default offline address book.
