Exchange 2010 address book issue.

We're using Exchange 2010 in our organization. My old database got corrupted so i created new mailbox and add existing users to it. Now the issue is, before users type other usernames in outlooks address bar and mail gets delivered to the recipients, now
they have to select users from "To" list in outlook and have to add them to the address bar, if they type the recipient name rather selecting from the list then the mail don't get delivered. What is the issue? Any idea why this happening?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the problem of address book in Exchange 2010, please follow these steps: -
Enable web-based distribution for the OAB to your client access servers
– If you are upgrading from Exchange 2003 to 2010, this step is a must.
Change the mailbox server that’s responsible for generating your OAB to an Exchange 2010 mailbox server –
This is important whether you are migrating to Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

OWA 2010 address book error retrieving free/busy information

Hi All
I get the following error when viewing a contacts free/busy information in the OWA 2010 address book.
Outlook 2010 clients cannot view contacts free/busy information either. There's a "not connected" error on the client.
This issue started after a service pack or update was applied. Which one I don't know as it was done by another admin.
Has anyone seen this error before or does anyone know what this error is pointing to?
Many Thanks
Roger

Free/busy data and the offline address book are two separate services.
Free/busy uses Exchange Web Services (EWS). The offline address book uses a different web service connecting to the OAB virtual directory.
Are you using SBS? SBS does some things differently so I recommend that you post this in the SBS Forum:

Time Machine Locked after MacBook Air reformatted. My MacBook Air was overfull due to an Address book issue (duplication) so after many attempts to clear space, I ended up wiping out the system and reloading Lion.

Time Machine Locked after MacBook Air reformatted. My MacBook Air was overfull due to an Address book issue (duplication) so after many attempts to clear space, I ended up wiping out the system and reloading Lion. This resulted in the Time Machine thinking that it was now connected to a different computer. Apparently this diables the existing information.
Now I can see that the back-ups exist (back to Sept 2012) but they are greyed out, therefore unavailale to restore. Again, this seems like an issue that shouldn't be happening. The whole point of the Time Machine is to enable reinstatement of data after catastrophic failure. What if my computer actually had to be replaced due to a hardware issue? How would I beableto restore anything?
The path already (unsuccessfully) taken;
Open Library on the computer, Open Time Machine, Select Correct date, drill down to correct data you wish to restore, click "Restore".
This did not work because the correct date was greyed out. Restore key was greyed out.

Exporting Outlook 2010 address book

How do I export Outlook 2010 Address Book

How do I export Outlook 2010 Address Book
You cannot export the Address Book itself. The AB is a specialized view of the Outlook contact folders designated to be include in the AddressBook. What needs to get exported are the individual contact folders which comprise the Outlook via the Outlook export
wizard

Troubleshooting Address Book issues using Palm Desktop for Mac (v. 4.2.1) and a T3?

Can someone please make suggestions which would correct the following issues?
1) When printing an Address Book from my Mac, the information in the "title" field prints twice. (I have checked my Preferences settings & reviewed how I have entered the information, etc. and everything is in order; also, an Address CARD DOES print correctly --- and --- after syncing to my T3 and then to my husband's PC, an Address Book prints correctly from the PC.)
2) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "zip code" entries appear BEFORE the "city" entries on the T3. (The zip codes appear correctly on my Mac and print out correctly.)
3) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "contacts" all appear in BLACK on my T3. Is there any way to show the different "contact categories" in COLOR on the T3 as they were originally entered in my Palm Desktop for Mac?

Viewing exchange global address book

Tried everything I can think of but I can't find a way to make all the contacts in the exchange global address book show up in contacts.
All I've been able to do is search the address book. But I'm wanting all the contacts to show at the one time and then select from that list.
Tried turning on contacts in the account setup in settings but that only seems to setup extra searches in contacts.
All I'm trying to do is have my normal contacts list from those on the iPad and another list for the exchange global address book.
Surely something so basic must be possible.

Querying exchange server address book

Hello guys
How can I retrieve information in microsoft exchange server address book using jdbc?
Thanks for any help.

IMO, I'd use Address Book. I tried Entourage for a while, but prefer the separate mail, iCal, and Address Book apps.
And I've had few problems keeping my work and home macs, as well as my Nokia, sync'd in the two years I've been a subscriber.

Outlook 2010 Quick Steps - Address Book issue

It was suggested I ask this question in the Windows 7 forum, after I posted it in the O365 forum...
Environment: Wave15 O365, on-premise users/groups, dirsync'd to O365 (ADFS). No on-site exchange servers. Users use either OWA or Outlook 2010 full client (part of Prof Plus 2010).
We have verified that the personal address books have had their 'show this folder as an e-mail Address Book' checked.
When we try to setup a Quick Step in the Outlook client on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 machine, it appears to be looking to the local machine's Windows Address Book, instead of the Outlook address books. It
only shows an Administrator E-mail Address. The window top does say Address Book: Global Address List. We cannot see any other address books.
When I login as the same user on a Windows 2003 R2 machine (citrix full desktop), it properly sees all of the address books, so it's not specific to the user. It appears to have something to do with the Operating
System.
Ideas?

Hi,
I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay.

Address book issue when creating meeting Outlook 2013 Exchange 2013

I am setup with Exchange 2013 Cu1 in coexistence with Exchange 2010 sp3.   When I have a mailbox on Exchange 2013 and run Outlook 2013 in cached mode (the default in my organization), The address book works fine for email. When I try to add
addresses or rooms to a calendar meeting, I get an error message that states:
"The address list cannot be displayed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
Under Address book, I see my mailbox, underwhich is contacts followed by All Users both of which work. Then I have Global Address list and a set of lists under that all of which pop the error message above. Following this is my CRM address lists
which all work.
It appears that when trying to add rooms or individuals to a meeting it is defaulting to global address book which does not appear to be available.   When addressing email it defaults to "all users".
Is this an issue with my default address book? If so how do I resolve this.
Thank you
Fred Zilz

Hi
One workaround you can try
Create a new OAB, add OAB Virtual Directory for all CAS servers under Distribution for default OAB.

Outlook 2013 Not Responding and Offline Address Book Issues with Office 365

Around 3 months ago I setup a small business with Office 365 for email. They have 10 PCs, all running newly installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, eight with Office 2013 and two with Office 2010. All are connected to a local domain (Server Essentials
2012) with a single internet connection through a new TP-LINK router. Each user logs into their own PC only.
The network runs perfectly, internet connection is good but there seems to be RANDOM, INTERMITTENT issues with email not being SENT from Outlook every so often. Email will sit in the outbox for up to an hour sometimes before, eventually, being sent. Incoming
email seems ok, although this is more difficult to tell. At others times, email will be sent instantly - the size of the message and any attachments makes no difference.
The issue has happened at some point on every one of the PCs but no particular PC/user seems worse than any other. When email is stuck on one user's PC it can still be sent ok by other users at the same time - so the internet connection is not down. Users can
can always login to the OWA service ok and iPhones etc. all sync ok even when email is stuck in the Outbox.
To debug the issue I have worked on one particular user's PC and carried out the following changes -
Changes that made no difference
I have checked the router. A SPI firewall is available on the router but this is switched off.
I have changed the MTU on the router with no effect.
There are no unsual add-ins to Outlook
Outgoing email virus scanning is disabled
Outlook is NOT integrated with Lync
The OST file is around 1.7 GBytes is size.
I have recreated the Outlook profile twice but this made no difference
Switched OFF "Cached Exchange Mode" - this made things worse !
The Outlook address book is set to \Offline Global Address List
I have disabled with Windows firewall on the client PC - no change
I have adjusted the KeepAliveTime for packets in the registry of the PC to 20 minutes
Changes that reduced the frequency of "Not Responding"
I have changed the Outlook automatic Send/Receive time from 30 to 10 minutes - this seemed to help
Possible Related Problem
I have attempted to download the offline address book manually - this hangs at "Copying offline address book template file" in the Send/Receive dialog and there a NO OAB files in the data file location on the PC.
So the only measure that has so far "helped" has been the Outlook Send/Receive time change - now set to 10 minutes. Even so, Outlook will occasionally go "Not Responding" for 30 minutes or more (no windows active - only option
is to close and reopen Outlook).
There does seem to be a problem with the Offline Address book. I can download this ok for this user on my home PC (Outlook 2010) but this will not download manually on the work pc with Outlook 2013 (despite following all the debug steps above).
On work PC I can see literally hundreds of "Schannel" errors in the Windows System event logs -
Error - Event 36888 Schannel
The following fatal error was generated :10
The internal error state is 10
These errors occur every 2-4 minutes continually all the time Outlook is running. When Outlook is closed the "Schannel" errors stop !
Can anyone suggest what else to try, please ?
I have already investigated this issue on the Office 365 Community Forum, and the Outlook forum and they suggested that it was a client (i.e Outlook) issue and that I should post here for further information.
Thanks for reading !

An update to this problem.
I brought one of the office PCs back to my home network and connected it up there. With no changes to the PC I was immediately able to download the Offline Address Book without errors.
This suggests to me that there must be some problem with the internet connection or router setup in the office environment.
The router is a TP-LINK W8970. The internet connection is PPPoA. I have seen some suggestion that an SPI firewall can cause issues. This router has an SPI firewall but this feature is disabled on the router.
While investigating this issue I have frequently been connected remotely to an office PC - sometimes for up to an hour or more. During these periods I have not experienced any connection dropouts so the actual internet connection seems to be ok (i.e. it is
not dropping out).
However, something seems to be preventing the Outlook client from connecting properly with the Office 365 Exchange server in the office environment - or something is dropping the connection to Outlook. Does anyone know of any router settings that might affect
this ?
I could try changing the office router but I do not have a spare available. Can anyone suggest a reasonably low cost, currenbtly available router that they know definitely works in the Office 365 environment so that I could buy this for test purposes ?

BPS - Exchange 2007 - Address book hangs - Net.riv.vm.StackOverflowError

Hello. I have recently installed BPS on our Exchange server. One of our users has an 8830 world edition that now hangs when he tries to access the address book on the device. The address book was fine when he would sync via desktop. The hanging address book also prevents caller ID info from displaying when a call comes in...it only shows the phone #. When the address book is opened the device freezes and the only way to get functional again is to pull the battery. When the device restarts he receives this message:
Uncaught exception:
Net.riv.vm.StackOverflowError
Any information on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Exchange 2010 ActiveSync Calendar Issues

We use Exchange 2010, SP1, RU6 in our enterprise. We are having many problems with calendar synchronization between Exchange and iOS 5.0.1 devices (iPad and iPhone). Is anyone else having the same problem? Anyone have answers. We opened a case with Apple and they told us that these are known issues with iOS 5 and they would be addressed in a future release. Anyone know when this will be addressed? Thanks.

48 hrs now since talking with Microsoft.
I agree it is an iOS issue but Microsoft can typically find a fix around the situation regardless of the root offender. The hope is that the events may still be tagged such that Microsoft may still be able to correct the events. Regardless, Microsoft has elevated the case two levels to correct the issue. This is much more than Apple has been willing to do. Their response thus far has literally been "let us know what Microsoft says". I am not necessarily working with Microsoft but more not working with Apple (for their dis-interest in the situation). Microsoft has been on the phone with us taking traces of email calendar activity to see what the underlying problem is.
I work in education and I have since halted all further deployments of iOS devices since the majority are administrative personnel and they would definitely be hooking into the Exchange environment. My recommendation has been to my student base is to also halt deployments if they are putting students into their Exchange environments.
Not that I am an Apple basher but I don't think Apple is ready for the enterprise. Now that I have moved to a Galaxy S II, I feel safer that I will not miss my meetings. i live by my calendar. My 4s in in my drawer for now.

Outlook 2013 Exchange 2013 Address Book Error 0x8004010F : The operation failed. An object cannot be found.

Hi,
We have Exchange 2013 running in our network, and are using Outlook 2013 on all PCs. We added some users several weeks ago, and they are not showing up in the Address Book. When we try to download the Address Book in Outlook, we receive the error 0x8004010F
: The operation failed. An object cannot be found.
Please let me know how I can start to troubleshoot this.
Regards,
Chris

Hi
There is a multiple reason to receive an error 0x8004010f, it is just a generic MAPI error.
Let’s check all settings are configured the way it is supposed to be: -
1.   Make sure the authentication setting is set up properly by using this command: -
Get-OabVirtualDirectory -ADPropertiesOnly | ft Identity, *Auth* -AutoSize
2.   Check URL’S are configured properly: -
Get-OabVirtualDirectory -ADPropertiesOnly | ft Identity, *url* -AutoSize
3.   Check the location of OAB: -
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB
4.   Now find out the location of the database on which the Arbitration mailbox resides: -
Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | where {$_.PersistedCapabilities -like “*OAB*”} | ft Name, Servername, Database
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus MGUxxx
5.   It is also important to ensure all database has the OAB set up properly for this use CMDLET: -
Get-MailboxDatabase | Ft Name, *book*
6.   If one or more database does not have OAB setup, then use CMDLET to set OAB for it: -
Get-Mailboxdatabase | Set-MailboxDatabase -OfflineAddressBook “Default Offline Address Book”
7.   If the issue is affecting only one or specific set of users, then check they have an OAB specified on their account: -
Get-Mailbox abc.xyz | fl Name, OfflineAddressBook,Database
Please correct me if the information that I am having is wrong.
Reply awaited.
Thanks and regards

Address book issues: duplicates and syncing to phone

I know this is a common problem, and why Apple cannot offer a better solution, or system, is frustrating.
The problem is basically multiple entries in my address book.
I know the issue has to do with icloud, but I cannot figure out how to eliminate the multiple entries without going one by one and deleting.
And I hestiate to do this because I am afraid they will come back.
Frankly, I am very frustrated with icloud.
As far as I am concerned it has caused more problems than it is worth.
I am ready to disable it totally.
Problem is, if I do that now, then all of my contacts in my address boook disappear.
Part of the problem,. I know, is that I still have a mobilme account, and somehow I have two icloud accounts.
Question: is there any way to merge my two icloud accounts, so I opnly have one.
Or can I just delete one? If so, how?
Another problem, I cannot get my addresses on my mac to appear in my iphone(4).
I have tried selecting the sync option to replace all addresses on my iphone, one time, with the addresses on the computer, but it doesn't work.
Certain addresses on my computer do not appear on my phone.
The other day, I went to my phone to call a contact andf found I had about 6 entries for every contact.
I had to go in and disable a bunch of accounts, and finally got back to onbe set, but now some contacts are missing.
Why a simple solution to eliminate showing duplicate entries cannot be found is frustrating.
Seems simple to me: if the info is duplicated, don't show it.
Seems like this simpkle rule could also apply to alerts: everytime I get an alert on my phone, it shows up 5 or 6 times in a row.
But that's another post.......

Great.
I think the TM restore would have been much quicker. I was under the assumption that everything was good on the Mac address book.
Not sure what happened since then. Did you read my post (at 2:01pm above) before things went wrong?
"Try this. Disable iCloud on your mac. Select to keep contacts on the computer when quiting. Verify address book contains all your contacts. If you don't have a backup such as TM, export address book contacts so you will have a backup.
Your address book should have been correct or you could have corrected the contacts then and you would have had the backup files exported if you didn't have or trust TM.
Go to the iCloud website and delete all contacts there.
At the iCloud website, you should have been able to select all addresses at one time and delete. That would have left no addresses in iCloud. Only addresses left should have been on your Mac from the last step.
Once done, go back and log into iCloud on your computer and merge the contacts. The website should now contain the addresses from your address book.
Unless something else was wrong and creating multiple contacts, the only addresses in iCloud would have been merged from what was in your address book on your computer.
I don't know what happened or where we went wrong. I'll check back in the morning if you post any other info.
Hope it works out.
