![]() ![]() Unlike earlier versions of Exchange, Exchange Server 2013 only supports OAB version 4 as shown above. This means that all the recipients are member of Default OAB. To view the default offline address book, type the cmdlet Get-OfflineAddressBook in EMS as shown below.Īs you can see above, the name of OAB is Default Offline Address Book and it has the Default Global Address List. The offline address book file is created in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB folder location by default. It is the OABGen service that identifies the recipients that should be member of offline address book. In Exchange 2013, offline address book is generated by OABGen (Offline Address Book Generation) service that runs on Mailbox server. Configure Offline Address Book in Exchange 2013 Here, I will show steps to configure offline address book in Exchange 2013. There is no GUI management tool of offline address book as of now. You can create address lists in Exchange 2013 using EAC (Exchange Administration Center), but to create and manage offline address book you must use EMS (Exchange Management Shell). By default, an offline address book is created by Exchange server and includes all the GAL (Global Address Lists). So make sure the internal and external URL for OAB and Autodiscover virtual directory is configured properly. Then, the offline address book is rolled out by OAB virtual directory. So how does offline address book distribution works? At first, Autodiscover service provides URL of OAB (Offline Address Book) to outlook clients. Offline address book works when the Outlook client is configured in cache mode or when it is in offline mode. Offline address book is used by Office Outlook so that users can locate contact information even when they are not connected to the server. ![]()
