First the contact lists from the Outlook Address book do not work. Global address list does work. When you go to the address book and select Address book there are no entries, and when you select Contacts it says the list could not be displayed. The contacts folder associated with the address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions.

RE: Availability of OWA - is it 24x7?
Thanks for the reply. The load balancing only work on the web server that is at IIS level. But the mailbox still reside on IS, If that IS is doing online defrag at exactly the moment that IIS try to pull data, then what happens? I will think the online defrag should not affect. If it found out this mailbox is engaged it should ignore and go to next mailbox. Any other reason, I have a remote backup agent running; if the backup kick in will this affect? -Original Message-From: Lathrum Matt-P55173 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2002 1:53 PMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: Availability of OWA - is it 24x7?
