Outlook 2013 not receiving updated GAL from Exchange 2010

New users added to Exchange 2010 are not showing up in the Global Address List on Outlook 2013 clients.  I have tried forcing a sync of the calendar and the users still do not show up.  If I check the GAL on OWA or on Outlook 2003 the GAL is correct.

The GAL takes up to 24 hours to rebuild if left to it's own devices.

You can try a force rebuild of the GAL.  

Open Exchange Management Console
- Organization Configuration
-- Mailbox
--- Offline Address Book tab
----- Right click the "Default Offline Address Book" and select 'Update'.

The users have been in the system for much more than 24 hrs.  I did try forcing a rebuild.  I followed the instruction in the link given by NRhode and it worked if I manually deleted the .oab from the user profile.  However doing this for every user especially if I have to do it everytime I change the GAL is not practical.
