Greetings,<br />
<br />
First I need to say I have been searching everywhere for answers to this but am coming up with nothing. <br />
<br />
I am having trouble with OAB. All of my cached clients are not updating the local copy.<br />
<br />
I have updated the OAB in the EMS, restarted the services, and downloaded the address book in outlook.<br />
<br />
The event log have no errors and show the OAB was successfully updated.<br />
<br />
Here is the part that I cannot figure out.<br />
<br />
On the client, if I go into C:\Users\%username%\AppDat<wbr />a\Local\Mi<wbr />crosoft\Ou<wbr />tlook and rename the Offline Address Books folder and then start outlook, it creates the new folders and everything is up to date and accurate. If I delete the new folder and switch back to the original it simply will not update.<br />
<br />
We have 650 computers on the network. We have tested this on 10 + and all are doing the same thing.<br />
<br />
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I am at a loss.<br />
<br />
If this has already been answered here I apologize. I searched and read many articles but cannot figure this out.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance, Mike

Another OAB question
