I am getting the following errors in my logs (Exchange 2007)<br />
<br />
OALGen encountered file error ffffffff (internal ID 5050236) while generating the offline address list for address list '\Global Address List'. &nbsp;Make sure there is enough disk space available. <br />
- Default Offline Address Book <br />
<br />
OALGen detected that the file '\\SVR-SAMC\ExchangeOAB\82<wbr />51f7db-4cd<wbr />a-44a0-84b<wbr />b-2e1baa31<wbr />7bc8\6d028<wbr />9ec-39a5-4<wbr />325-a81f-0<wbr />227b21f8e3<wbr />b-data-10.<wbr />lzx' is corrupted or missing. This indicates data tampering or disk problems. Restore files in this folder from the recent backup or clean up folder content and force a full OAB generation. <br />
- Default Offline Address Book <br />
<br />
I created a new OAB and set it as default but this had no impact on the error. This error has been present for a long time and the customer has complained about a missing shared address book (new customer so I am fuzzy on details of their complaint).<br />
<br />
Any ideas how to proceed with solving this problem? Exchange has been fully patched and has all service packs installed.
