Exchange2010 not updating OAB/Outlook clients not downloading updated OAB

I have been trying to figure this problem out for a month. We have Exchange 2010 running on Server 08 (SP2). For over a month, any change made (IE: New User, Removed User, Name Change, etc) will not show up
on the client side address book (Outlook 2007 or 2010).
There are A LOT or other forum topics like this and I've probably read them all. None of them solve this issue for me, but they do help me find workarounds, which I hope can useful in finding a fix.
What I've learned:
- OWA is not affected at all. All changes are instantly reflected in OWA.
- Disabling Cached mode on client manually fixes the problem (but I dont want to diable cache mode on 100+ clients)
- Deleteing the .oab files in the user app data folder fixes the problem, but again, this is not a real solution.
What I've tried:
- The obvious, updating the default OAB.
- Restarting the server 100 times,
- Restarting the Microsoft File Distribution Service,
- and gently caressing the server with love.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Microsoft Outlook Client 2007

I can't find a copy of Outlook client to download so I can move mail box content to Office 365. Where can I download Outlook 2007 client from to get this completed.

Hi,
According to your description, you want to move mailbox content to Office 365. We can export the mailbox to PST file then import the PST file to another mailbox in Office 365.
To export PST file in Outlook 2007, please do:
1. On the File menu, click Import and Export.
2. Click Export to a file, and then click
Next.
3. Click Personal Folders File (.pst), and then click
Next.
4. Select the account — a top level folder — that you want to export. This enables exporting all mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes if available for that account.
Then you can import the PST to another mailbox from Outlook.

Exchange Emails Not Showing Up On IPhone with Outlook Client Closed

I have been trying to fix this problem and I want to see if anybody else has run across this issue and found the fix. I am having a problem accessing Exchange Emails from my work system, but only under the following scenario:
1) When my work PC is powered on, logged in, and Outlook client is up and active I can send and receive emails on my IPhone with no problems and it correctly displays read and unread messages.
but...
2) When I close my Outlook client on my PC my IPhone is no longer able to retrieve new email messages. I have had this problem since first getting the 3G phone in August of '08 and it is has been updated with each firmware release but the problem persists.
This is driving me crazy, any help or confirmation that others are experiencing the problem is much appreciated.
Thanks.

If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.

I can no longer open any attachments that are sent to me. I click on and get cannot preview (but have had this for ages). I am clicking on download and nothing happens. It does not download. I clicked to install a new version after updating and clicking repair. But still the attachments won't open including invoices I have received today. It is all attachments not just pdfs.

Then most likely it is not caused by Adobe Reader.

Just try to remove the recent update that has been pushed out by Microsfot to Outlook 2013 and Office 365 users. You can do this by following given steps:
Step 1: Open your start menu and click visit your Control Panel.
Step 2: Click Programs and Features.
Step 3: Click View Installed updates.
Step 4: Locate either the KB2837618 or KB2837643 and remove them.
Disable the "Show only subcribed folders" option in Outlook.
Step 1: Right click the name of your account with the issue, then click the IMAP folders link.
Step 2: Outlook will open a box with IMAP folders. There is a checkbox that says, "When displaying hierarchy in Outlook, show the subcribed folders." Uncheck that box.
Step 3: Force sending/receiving within Outlook and everything should synchronize up properly.
Changing the root folder path
Visit your Account Settings, then Advanced for the mail account that you are having trouble with. This can be located at one of the following:
Go to Change Account>More Settings>Advanced Tab
File > Account Settings > Account settings > Change... > More Settings... > Advanced
Step 1: In the Folders option, look for "Root Folder Path" and enter "INBOX" (with all caps).
Step 2: Save your setting and force a Send/Receive
Hope, It will resolve your issue.
If you have still any doubt, feel free to comment. We will reply you ASAP.

Outlook client not connecting when a user is moved from 2010 to 2013

Dear all,
we are exchange 2010 SP3 we migrate to exchange server 2013 sp1 cu7 all the mailbox migrated cannot connect to outlook client
howver, user on 2010 cannot redirect from exchange 2013 to 2010.
jibmud

Greetings! Just want to make sure I understand. You are saying that user mailboxes migrated to Exchange 2013 cannot connect? When you say Exchange 2010 users cannot connect to Exchange 2010 via 2013, how are they doing that? OWA?
What does Outlook connection status indicate?
How are your 2010 clients connecting and have all records been updated to point to Exchange 2013 servers? Do you happen to be using Outlook Anywhere internally?
Not sure if it applies to your environment but you may want to check this out:

WSUS Downstream server not downloading updates

I have a windows 2012R2 wsus server setup running wsus and getting updates fine from Microsoft Updates. We will call this server A in this example.
I have a downstream server that is windows 2012r2 and has wsus installed. We can call this server B. It is configured to use "Update Source" and point to A to get its updates. SSL is not being used.
Server B says it syncs fine with no errors. However, when i look in the content folder I see the folders (0A, 2A, 2F etc..) but they do not contain any files. When i run wsusutil checkhealth the following error comes up in event viewer.
The WSUS content directory is not accessible. System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.HealthMonitoring.HmtWebServices.CheckContentDirWebAccess(EventLoggingType
type, HealthEventLogger logger)
Any Suggesitons

Looks like the content store, specifically the /Content v-dir in IIS, is not configured correctly.
If so, it's also possible that the upstream server is not downloading content correctly from Microsoft. And if the downstream server cannot get to /Content, neither can any of the clients of the upstream server.
Start by inspecting the ApplicationEventLog on the upstream server for any evidence of download failures. If they don't exist, then this could simply be an issue with IIS. Verify that the /Content v-dir is configured to point to the correct location of the
~\WSUSContent folder.

SUS will not download updates

Hi,
I've just upgraded my server from 10.4.11 to 10.5.7 and setup DNS/Open directory and other required services including SUS. The problem that I have is that when I click on the 'Update List' button nothing is downloaded. I've binned prefs etc.... from /etc/swupd/ which hasn't made any difference. I've restarted the server several time and stop/started the service through the terminal several times. What ever I do it just will not download any updates. The last check box still is saying that the last update was yesterday which isn't true as I've tried to force it maybe 30-40 times. Internet is fine.
Please help as this is getting annoying. I've set this up several times before without any problems

Greetings All
Just wanted to comment that I am experiencing similar issues.
This is a fresh install of 10.5.6 with an update to 10.5.7
I do receive some errors and it appears that the SUS is missing some updates. I have the updates organized by date and I do not see some updates which I do see on the standalone MacBooks; such as the 10.5.8 update.
However the SUS reports that the last check occurred on the current date (sept 18th 2009) and there is a download/update from yesterday (Apple RAID Card Firmware Update) however I do not see such updates as 10.5.8
Perhaps it is a mistake on my part and the updates which I see on a standalone machine should not match the SUS, but to me that did not make sense
Here is a screen shot of the updates which I have and I am including some error logs.

IPad App Store not downloading updated apps

I have an iPad 3 64GB that has been updated to iOS 8. In the last two days, the App Store will not download updated apps. It shows them with a red number, but when I click on Update, I get the circle with a square in the middle but then nothing proceeds. If I go to the individual app, it says "waiting…" but if I click it, it does not change to "paused" as it used to when waiting was shown.
My iPhone 5S is not having a problem, nor is iTunes on my computer.
Sometimes, if I sync the iPad with iTunes, the updated apps will copy over to the iPad, but not every time.
I have done a forced restart on the iPad and have also done a Reset All Settings under the General setting.
It appears that something has gone wrong with the App Store app. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this short of restoring the iPad to new status and reinstalling everything?

Hi,
Try deleting the apps with the issue from iTunes, and then download and update them again.

I had this problem as well but found the soultion on another post from turingtest2 - it worked for me:
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

'do not download or install updates automatically' doesn't work 4 my Adobe.

some people use Adobe just to read from time to time some pdfs on their computer. they dont work with adobe, they dont need "the latest updates", they are happy with what they have.
so im a bit frustrated how often adobe is updated while im not interested, how many times for month i must click "NO, THANKYOU." - really, i have enough "clicks" on the whole internet every day (disabling adds etc.)
yes, i know, you "can" disable updates in options: "edit - preferences - updater - do not download or install updates automatically" but it doesnt work for my Adobe, im still getting info about "waiting update".
any help because i have no idea and im a bit tired? thanks in advance...

Setting the Updater preferences to not download updates automatically (i.e. edit - preferences - updater - do not download or install updates automatically) will only change the way Reader updates are downloaded. It could be a case wherein Adobe Acrobat is also installed on your system for which you might be getting the update prompts.
Would it be possible for you to share the contents of the file AdobeARM.log present in the %temp% folder so that I can confirm the reason for the behavior on your system.

Hi,
Finally got the notification and when I hit download (yes I have space on internal memory and connected via WiFi)...it goes to download and before the first mb starts it then says "could not download".
I thought ok let me try via PC companion and it says I have the latest software via PC companion. I check the website what the latest software update is and it says the 23.1.A.0.690.
Anyone have any advice? In all my days I've never had could not download message come up when I've tried to update my phone software.
Location:London, network:Vodafone (if that is needed)
Thanks in advance for any help.
*Edited to add I'm currently on kitkat and havent had a software update since purchasing phone when released*

New software update still not downloading. Apps updates have all downloaded since iTunes issue resolved. Is the software issue also related to this, or is there another problem? This is on my iPhone 6, not my Mac.

Trying to download the iOS 8.2 software update on my iPhone 6, but it won't update. All app updates have resolved since the iTunes issue was resolved. Is the software update issue related to this as well, or is it another problem entirely?
I've synced it to iTunes, turned it off/on, etc., but still not downloading.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi DebC64,
So is the iOS 8.2 update not downloading to your iPhone, computer or both?
You have synced it to iTunes, that is an option to update if it's not updating wirelessly. Please see if other steps help.

I received a pop-up advising me that update OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download, but it was fouled by something; it did not download/install. Now I ask for software updates and they tell me "no software updates available." Help.

I received a pop-up telling me that OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download/ installation, but something interrupted the process and it was not downloaded and/or installed. Now when I ask for software updates, I det the message that "no updates available." What do I do to get thei update?

If the installation didn't finish, maybe OS X 10.8.3 was installed partially, and it doesn't show up because the updater already updated the OS X version to 10.8.3, although it doesn't mean that everything was installed and updated. Just to make sure that everything is updated to the version included in 10.8.3, reinstall it with the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
