Hi, When Outlook is on cached mode, offline address book is updated in schedule. If left constantly running, Outlook in cached mode automatically updates the offline address book on the client every 24 hours. The 24-hour time period is measured from the time that the offline address book was last downloaded successfully. For example, if you complete an offline address book download at 09:00 today, Outlook will start the offline address book download the next day at approximately 09:00. Therefore, different people will receive updates at different, random times. Note The default setting on the Exchange 2010 computer is to generate an offline address book differential file every morning at 05:00. For a change that is made in Active Directory to reach the client computer, the following events must occur: The change must be picked up by the Exchange computer that generates the offline address book files. This can take several hours. At worst, it can take 24 hours. This variable will be referred to as "x." The Outlook clients must download the offline address book updates every 24 hours. This update can take several hours. At worst, it can take 24 hours. This variable will be referred to as "y." The update reaches the client machines x+y hours later. It would be rare for a client to ever experience a 48-hour delay or more unless there were some Active Directory or public folder replication issues. If you use OWA or non-cached-mode Outlook, OAB will be updated. This is because it will get the latest address list directly from GC. But from the view of performance, the cached mode is better. Hope it helps. ThanksSophia Xu TechNet Community Support

Thanks Sophia to give respond..actually u are correct but I am not able to understand why outlook clients are not able to download global address list automatically..its all most more than 72 hours completed to create the distribution group. Let me explain you once again-- I have created distribution group before three days it should come in Global Address List for the outlook clients but unfortunately it is not appearing.When I am sorting address book with all group it is appears there. When I am sorting it with global address list it is not there. Kindly help me out .usmAn

Hi! Techies!!! Kindly help me out on this...I will be highly appropriate you guys.. usmAn

Hi Malikusman, >>but I am not able to understand why outlook clients are not able to download global address list automatically..its all most more than 72 hours completed to create the distribution group. The goal designing that GAL updates in schedule is due to the performance consideration when outlook clients is in cache mode. You can imagine that if all client are online mode, clients will update differential file from Exchange server all the time, which will impact the servers' performance. 'It would be rare for a client to ever experience a 48-hour delay or more unless there were some Active Directory or public folder replication issues.' You cost 72h, I suspect that AD or PF replication issues occur. So, you can check whether there are some related event loggs. Hope it helps. ThanksSophia Xu TechNet Community Support
