File Distribution Service: Manifest file for Offline Address Book is corrupted. Aborting current file synchronization operation. |
Explanation
This Error event indicates that the offline address book manifest file (oab.xml) is corrupted and cannot be synchronized with a Microsoft Exchange Server that is running the Client Access (CAS) server role. The offline address book manifest file contains offline address book entries and is generated on a server that is running Exchange Server and running the Mailbox server role. The Microsoft Exchange File Distribution service that is running on the CAS server replicates this file from the Mailbox server to the CAS server every eight hours.
User Action
To resolve this error, regenerate the offline address book file set that is specified in the event description. To do this, run the following Exchange Management Shell command from the Exchange server that logged this event:
Update-OfflineAddressBook -Identity <offline address book identifier>
Note In this command, replace <offline address book identifier> with the GUID specified for the offline address book file that is set in the event description.
