Use the Move-OfflineAddressBook cmdlet to designate a new server responsible for generating the offline address book (OAB).
Syntax
Move-OfflineAddressBook -Identity
<OfflineAddressBookIdParameter> [-Confirm
[<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
[-Server <ServerIdParameter>] [-WhatIf

Detailed Description
Some situations require the OAB to be moved. For example, if you purchase new hardware to replace your computer running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 that has the Mailbox server role installed and is responsible for generating the OAB, you run the Move-OfflineAddressBook cmdlet to move the OAB generating task to another server.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Offline address books" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.
