New version of OABInteg post to the web

  • Artykuł

I am writing a fast update to inform everybody that I have finished another revision of OABInteg.

New features include
1. New error reporting.
2. New test to dump out an address list in OAB Version 4 mode.
3. Completely rewritten proxytest that mimics the OAB Generation process when scanning users legacyExchangeDN's and proxy addresses.

NOTE: This test performs all of the tests that the OAB Generation does when it scans the Global Address List's objects before they are added to the Offline Address List.

NOTE1: legacyExchangeDN's are stamped on the user by the NTDS for users that need to be part of the address book, but not yet stamped by the RUS (Recipient Update Service). You will be able to look at the display name of the user and easily find them with LDP and or ADSIEdit. These objects can cause 9340 events that lead to full OAB client downloads.

4. A new check for cached and online mode profiles. If you are in cached mode the application will stop running and ask you to please try again with an Online Mode profile.

5. New test [dumpPDNtable] added for dumping the active directory PDN table.

NOTE: This test will construct a PDN table from the x500 addresses and legacyExchangeDN's from your organization. All x500 addresses that are checked are only valid if they are from the same organization. This will come in handy when trying to figure out what objects are causing 9340's and 9341's events that cause full downloads.

For more information on this, please see my PDN blog: https://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/archive/2005/11/18/494545.aspx

Coming Soon
1. I am working on a second part of this that will download the OAB attachments from the information store and compare those attachments to the downloaded active directory data. This will be a OAB generation simulation, and will show you the objects causing your full downloads.

2. An OABSizer that will print out the sizes for all attributes on an object. This will come in handy when trying to figure out what objects are causing the biggest bloat for your OAB. This will mostly be used for pre Service Pack 2 or non OAB Version 4 servers.
