Exchnage OAB not updating because of child domain controller.
I have a parent and child domain. Exchange only runs in the parent domain. I noticed in Exchange that it was picking up the child domain controller under Server Config, Server Properties, System Settings, Active Directory servers. In that screen the two parent domain contrllers and one child domain controllers were listed. This caused sporadic issues if the child domain DC was use for some Exchange related function.
I ran this command to exclude the child DC:
set-exchangeserver -identity "exchange server" -StaticExcludedDomainContr
Now the Offline Address Book is not updating. I added a new user and noticed it was not appearing in the GAL. If I turned off cached exchange mode it did appear. It also appeatrs under Address Books, All Address Books, All users in either cached or non-cached.
The application event logs has two errors referecing the child DC:

I set the logging but nothing much has shown up in events.
According to the article it references MSEMS_DSA_Admin section. That section is not in the file. Also the only place I found the file mapisvc.inf was under system\syswow64.
