IIRC Outlook in cached mode automatically updates the offline address book on the client every 24 hours. The 24-hour time period is measured from the time that the offline address book was last downloaded successfully on that client. For example, if you complete an offline address book download at 09:00 today, Outlook will start the offline address book download the next day at approximately 09:00. Therefore, different people will receive updates at different, random times.

Having the user manually update always solves the problem...but I'm wondering... Our Exchange servers are up to date on patching. However, our PC's are many...many...many months behind because the powers that be don't want to force reboots for mostly non-24/7 PC's. And yes, it makes no sense to me either. Could the lack of patching for Outlook be causing the OAB to not be updated every night? I guess I'm wondering if a mismatch in security patches might somehow, in the zillions of lines of code that be the Microsoft Monster, be causing an issue... Larry C.
