OAB Generation fails to generate with errors 9330 and 9334

The OAB Generation process solely relies on good connectivity to the Active Directory and it's domain controllers for information. For more information on how the System Attendant connects to the Active Directory please see this blog: https://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/archive/2006/01/26/518038.aspx

There are times where the System Attendant will create its profile and read in a domain controller that we can not connect too. This can be caused by a few things:

  1. Incorrect DNS settings
  2. Duplicate IP Address issues
  3. Using the DS Server registry key value which hard codes MAPI clients to a particular domain controller. For more information see this blog: https://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/archive/2006/05/06/The-DS-Server-registry-key-and-rebuilding-an-Offline-Address-List.aspx
  4. Incorrect permissions listed on the cn=All Address Lists container and or the objects below it. Please see this blog for more information: https://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/archive/2008/04/03/how-to-prepare-your-organization-for-exchange-2007-address-list-segregation.aspx and https://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/archive/2007/05/16/missing-permissions-on-the-address-lists-container-breaks-the-oab-generation-process.aspx

If you hit one of the above listed conditions you will see the following errors below:
