Getting the following error downloading the addressbook with Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2007
Get Current Exchange OAB Eventlogging level.
Get-EventLogLevel “MSExchangeSA\OAL Generator” Set-EventLogLevel -Identity “MSExchangeSA\OAL Generator” –Level Expert
Remember to disable the logging when you are finished troubleshooting.
Set-EventLogLevel -Identity “MSExchangeSA\OAL Generator” –Level Lowest
In the end i found two accounts with invalid smtp addresses which the logs identifed easily.

Obviously replace the server name, fqdn and smarthost in the scripts.
We are running a few vista machines internally at work, a month or so ago, they started to drop off the network randomly so the users reported. Later I found that it was only their connections to the network shares dropping. Exchange, Internet Access everything else was unaffected. I was baffled as to what it could be. We were using DFS to map the network drives. I found that I could go to \\servername\share but not the \\namespace\data\share path
Anyway I was googleing for answers as any resourceful tech does.
I came across this Microsoft KB Article 933860.
DFS failover does not occur when a client computer that is running Windows Vista tries to connect to a DFS root server that is unavailable, and you receive an error message: “System error 1214 has occurred”
Now these were not the exact symptom’s I was experiencing, but sounded similar. Anyway I contacted MS for the hotfix’s for Vista x86 and x64, and the issue is now resolved.
