If you are using Outlook in cached mode, the OAB generation takes place on defined schedule and could take 24 hours to update in offline copy of your outlook.

Hi Deon, You also can manually update it. How to Update the Offline Address Book http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997684(EXCHG.80).aspx Offline Address Book Properties > General Tab http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124719(EXCHG.80).aspx In client side, you can manually update OAB with the following steps: Outlook -> Tools -> Send/Receive -> Download Address Book -> Select Full -> Click OK. Hope this helps. Thanks, Elvis
