Hi,
We had recently a strange issue on Outlook clients, regarding the OAB (Offline Address Book).
In fact, we had removed old Exchange 2003 server, which was responsible for the Recipient Update Service (on both Domain/Forest) and the Offline Address Lists (see captures).
A blog to share my knowledge in the field, plus some errors that I got and how to resolve them.

[VBS] Search Active Directory
Hi,
Here you'll find a simple script which searches in Active Directory all objects that has a particular attribute (in this example : msExchHomeServerName)
Hope it helps.
Note: this script was not developed by me.
