Hi Readers,
If you want to troubleshoot:- Why some users are not available in Offilne address book & also have issues with
Default Global address List in exchange then this post might interests you.
First of all go to exchange management console & enable the diagnostics logging of Offline address book generator server
to medium.
When the offilne address book is generated you will see below kind of events in the eventvwr.
For analyzing it automatically I have written the power-shell solution(link to download is below) which will email you the entries that are having issues.
https://github.com/VikasSukhija/Downloads/blob/master/OABAnalysis-2007.zip
Please edit the script code & add relevant email addresses & smtp server (defined at end of .ps1 script)
edit batch file :- (enter the server name on which OAB is generated)
powershell .\eventAnalysis.ps1 Application server1 9325
Code:-
