RE: Contacts issue
This happened to us when I had to move all the mailboxes out to .psts with Exmerge to rebuild a corrupt server (Dell Server with faulty RAID). Ben Scott's solution is what I did. Some of my helpdesk staff figured out which was the bad address book and just deleted that rather than recreating the Outlook Address Book service.

Any idea how to easily clean this up? The "Outlook Address Book" service is hosed. It gets screwed up at the drop of a hat, so that isn't surprising. Exit Outlook. Go to Control Panel, then "Mail" (or whatever it is called on your OS). Remove the OAB "service" from the profile. Start Outlook and then exit again without doing anything (this step may not be strictly necessary, but it makes me feel good). Go back to the MAPI profile, and add the OAB service back in. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Contacts issue
Profiles, John Parker. If you've modified a profile it sometimes will retain links back to the old mailbox's contacts folder. I'm trying to train our folks here to always add/delete profiles, never modify.
