How to tell what public folder store your Outlook client is going to when you fail to download the OAB with error 0x8004010f

  • Artikel

There are a lot of common reasons why an Outlook client will fail to download the OAB. Some of the common reasons are

  1. There is no OAB associated with the users mailbox store.
  2. The OAB has not been generated.
  3. No local OAB public folder replica.
  4. Client is possibly going out of site to a different public folder store.
  5. The public folder object does not exist. For more information see blog: https://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/archive/2006/10/15/generating-a-newly-created-offline-address-book-fails-with-errors-9331-and-9335.aspx
  6. Using the ms-Associated-External-Account in the wrong fashion. For more information see blog: https://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/archive/2007/08/23/having-problems-downloading-the-oab-after-you-have-migrated.aspx
  7. etc, etc, etc...

All of the mentioned above items can affect the EntryID that is stamped on the mailbox information store. This EntryID is called PR_ADDRBOOK_FOR_LOCAL_SITE_ENTRYID and it maps to an OAB folder. This is the EntryID that the Outlook client will use to open the OAB system folder so it can download the OAB information.

Example:

  • You have a mailbox store with 1 user called OAB-User.
  • The information store has an OAB associated with it call "Default Offline Address List".
  • Once OAB-User logs in the information store will look at the Windows profile information to get some information and during that process we will convert the information needed to get the EntryID.  This OAB EntryID will be store in the Information Store's store table. Only Online clients can see this.
  • You can also see which OAB is associated with the mailbox store by looking in the ESM or looking at the msExchUseOAB attribute on the mailbox store object.

Now how do we find out where the client is going? There are two tests within OABInteg that can be used with each other to give you this information. Here are the two tests:

  1. oabinteg /s:serverName /t:hierarchylist /v:2 /l
  2. oabinteg /s:serverName /t:oabfldcheck /v:2 /l

Both of these test will simulate Outlook client connectivity. Both tests will get the EntryID to the OAB folder. First run the Hierarchylist test. This will give you the EntryID's for all of your public folders on the given information store.

1. From the Outlook client having the problem run the following: oabinteg /s:serverName /t:hierarchylist /v:2 /l

You will see an output similar to this below:

etc....

The idea here is that you get the list of EntryID's so we can see which public folder store we are trying to connect too:

2. Next run: oabinteg /s:serverName /t:oabfldcheck /v:2 /l.

You will see the following output:

Now all you care about from the oabfldcheck test is the EntryId that your client is trying to use. I have highlighted this in red:

000000001A447390AA6611CD9BC800AA002FC45A0300B4CF3F5BB03DC0499AB07A96F707B1AB000
0000000080000

3. Search the hierarchylist output for this EntryID and you can see it will match one in the list:

000000001A447390AA6611CD9BC800AA002FC45A0300B4CF3F5BB03DC0499AB07A96F707B1AB0000000000080000
000000001A447390AA6611CD9BC800AA002FC45A0300B4CF3F5BB03DC0499AB07A96F707B1AB0000000000080000

Now you can see which folder the Outlook client went to. Based on my search here my client is downloading the OAB from the following folder:

Folder Name: /o=Company/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List
Replica Server Name: PF Server 2
URL Name: /NON_IPM_SUBTREE/OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK/
OAB Folder EntryID: 000000001A447390AA6611CD9BC800AA002FC45A0300B4CF3F5BB03DC0499AB07A96F707B1AB0000000000080000
