[edit] CANCEL - it appears that only my Outlook (2003) client was configured to ask for the offline address book. I've since rebuilt (NOT RESET) it according to MS instructions, and have seen one 9126 OAL generator error so far. But no other users have noticed anything. As I thought, with nobody on dial-up the offline address book is pretty much a waste of bandwidth. [/edit]
To my shame I fiddled with the Offline Address Book folders on the server and broke offline address books.
The clients are still sending/receiving mail ok, address books & contacts are fine, but on each client send/receive this appears in the Synchronization Log:
10:49:51 Synchronizer Version 11.0.5604 10:49:51 Synchronizing Mailbox 'Beef' 10:49:51 Synchronizing Hierarchy 10:49:52 Done 10:49:52 Microsoft Exchange offline address book 10:49:52 0X8004010F
The clients send/receive progress dialog reports an error stating: as object can not be found.
The last two lines apparently related to the following Event error logged when restarting the store:
MSExchangeSA: Error 9172 OALGen encountered error 0x8004010f while calculating the OALs.
I created a new OAL with a new name, then I deleted it and created one matching the name in the public folder replicant: Default Offline Address List, and I added all address lists. Rebuilt, and set it as default.
The problem remains: an object could not be found.
Now I have two OAB Version 2 offline address lists, with data in each. But this doesn't seem to fix the problem.
I found an article: XADM How to Reset System Folders on an Exchange 2000 Server (275171), where it calls for making a new GUID.
The article says that all "data" will be lost, which is not comforting and rather vague - what data???
Do I need to reset system folders to fix this problem? I don't think we need the OAL/OAB...?
