Try typing the name of your GAL instead of ” | Format-List Name, Recipient Filter Type, Recipient Filter, Included Recipients, Conditional* Overall, although the process may seem daunting, it is logical and quick.It only takes a few commands to ensure your brand new GAL is all set!There are two methods available in server side to generate new Offline Address Book 1.Update-Offline Addres Book: Following cmdlet will force OAB generation of an OAB named “Default Offline Address Book” across all organization mailboxes.CAS 2013 proxies all OAB download requests to the appropriate Exchange 2013 Mailbox server.So Microsoft Exchange File Distribution Service is removed from the CAS role.Also, In Exchange 2013, the OAB files are generated and stored in the Organization Mailbox first and later copied to the %Exchange Install Path%\Client Access\OAB\.In Exchange 2013, OAB files are not stored locally on the CAS.
The procedure is simple, fast and crucial, as it will basically refresh the contact list on your PC.
The disadvantage with this approach was that only one server was configured for OAB generation, and it was a single point of failure.
