Use the Offline Address Book tab to view the list of offline address books (OAB) in your Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 organization. An OAB is a copy of an address book that has been downloaded so that a Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 user can access the information it contains while disconnected from the server. Exchange administrators can choose which address books are made available to users who work offline, and they can also configure the method by which the address books are distributed.

Note

To modify how organization configuration objects are displayed in Microsoft Management Console (MMC), click View in the action pane. For more information about view options, see Organization Configuration.

When you select an OAB, the following actions are available either by right-clicking the OAB name or by using the action pane.

  • Update

  • Move
