The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool queries the Exchange_Public_Folder Microsoft Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) class to determine the current value for HasLocalReplica. If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds that the value for HasLocalReplica is set to False for the offline address book version 3a instance of an offline address list, an error is displayed.

When HasLocalReplica is set to False for the offline address book version 3a instance for an offline address list, offline address lists are not correctly generated. As a result, Microsoft Office Outlook® 2003 users cannot download any offline address lists.

This issue can occur if you have not configured any public folder stores to contain replicas for offline address book version 3a. By default, the offline address book replicates its contents to the public folder store of the server on which it is installed. If the public folder store is removed from the offline address book's replication configuration, the issue that is described in the previous paragraph occurs.

To correct this error

  1. Open Exchange System Manager.

  2. Expand Administrative Groups, and then click Folders.

  3. Right-click Public Folders, and click View System Folders.

  4. Click to expand the OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK object.

  5. Under OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK, right-click o=org/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List, and then click Properties.

  6. On the Replication tab, verify that a public folder store is entered in the Replicate content to these public stores box. If a public folder store is not entered, click Add, and then enter the appropriate public store for the offline address book.

  7. Click Apply, and then click OK.

  8. Click to expand o=org/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List.

  9. Under o=org/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List, right-click offline Address Book Version 3a, and then click Properties.

  10. On the Replication tab, verify that a public folder store is entered in the Replicate content to these public stores box. If a public folder store is not entered, click Add and then enter the appropriate public store for the offline address book.

  11. Click Apply, and then click OK.
