The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant is responsible for
invoking OABGen.dll so that address lists can be built or rebuilt. OABGen.dll
is a MAPI application that reads from Active Directory through Name Service
Provider Interface (NSPI) calls.
A healthy and correctly configured
Active Directory is required for successful offline address book
generation.
Active Directory-related issues, such as replication
problems, latency, and stale information, can frequently cause the .oab file
generation process to fail. The OABInteg tool can scan Active Directory for
these types of issues.
The
following is the description of the usage and optional commands of the Offline
Address Book Integrity (OABInteg) tool.
Usage: OABInteg.exe
[/s:
servername]
[/t:
testname] [/l] (enable file logging) [/v: 1,2 or
3] (1 = minimum | 2 = maximum logging | 3 = ErrorsOnlyLogging
Optional
Commands [/d:
OUSearchDN] [/p:# -
Page
Size] [/U:
UserName]
[/P:
Password]
[/r:
Alias]
[/l] Logging output will go to
c:\OABInteg.txt
[/v] Logging output will go to the screen. - Default
logging is general - /v:1 for minimum | /v:2 for maximum logging. | /v:3 for
ErrorsOnlyLogging (Proxytest only)
[/p:] Active Directory search page
size. Default size is 64 and maximum is 512.
[/dn:] LDAP test only!!
<Example: OU=Managers,DC=OrgName,DC=local>
Note If you do not specify a search /dn: a base query of
DC=OrgName,DC=local is used.
[/U:]
Username. If you will connect, use different credentials or connect to a different domain.
[/P:]
Password. If you will connect, use
different credentials or connect to a different domain.
[/r:]
Alias. If you want to return one object from the
