Offline Address Book!!!

[Badaz52]

Hi All,

 

I am currently using Exchange 2013 and am testing some new address lists/address book policies. While I have been doing this I have discovered that there is no OAB for the default global address list. Doing a bit of digging it would appear that one doesn't exist, I am also not able to run any commands which would allow me to create a new one in EMS as it returns \ could not be found errors constantly.

 

Get-OfflineAddressBook returns no results.

 

I have verified all virtual directories are set correctly.

 

This was a migration from EX2010 to EX2013 and I am starting to think I missed something out.

 

I thought there might be some guidance on the net for how to re-create the OAB but I have had no luck.

 

Would anyone know how to sort this out?

 

Cheers!

The error when creating a new address book is:

 

The parent object for Default OAB could not be found. Please check that \ exists.

 

There is one article I could find on google that suggests it is permissions related but it doesn't say which....
