For each offline address book (OAB) distribution point in Exchange, you can configure two URLs—an internal URL that can be accessed only from your internal corporate network and an external URL that can be accessed from the Internet.
For additional management tasks related to OABs, see Offline Address Book Procedures.
What do you need to know before you begin?
- Estimated time to complete each procedure: 5 minutes.
- You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this
procedure or procedures. To see what permissions you need, see the

Address Book Permissions topic.
- You can’t use the Exchange Administration Center (EAC) to
perform this procedure. You must use the Shell.
