  1. Thanks so much for giving everyone an extraordinarily brilliant chance to read in detail from this blog. It’s usually very lovely and stuffed with a great time for me personally and my office colleagues to visit your site particularly three times in a week to see the new stuff you will have. And definitely, I’m usually impressed with the fabulous tips and hints you serve. Selected 2 ideas in this article are undeniably the most effective I’ve ever had.

  2. Hey, Thanks for the post. I’ve got a question for you relating to the offline address book. I’ve followed your instructions and everything worked as expected. However, my offline address book is still on the 2003 server. I know this because whenever the 2003 server is shut down or disconnected from the network the offline address book becomes unavailable. How can I get the address book fully to the 2010 server? Thanks!

  3. Hi, Thank you for your post. While moving OAB from 2003 to 2010 I’ve faced with following problem. Using EMC I’ve changed the server from 2003 to 2010 with no problem. But when I tried to enable Web-based distribution I was not able to select OAB Virtual Directory (list was empty, search found 0 objects). No idea how to troubleshoot.
