Re: Global Address List is sometimes not available



I Got the Solution!

I think the problem was caused by an restore we proceed a year ago!
I became the tip from the German MS community!
So these are the steps I made:
Disable the GC option of the DC2 and wait for the sync!
Restart the DC2 and again wait for sync and restart again!

Now all is fine!!

So it sounds like none of the clients are using cached mode.

I'd check the event logs on your DC's - this is an AD problem, not Exchange.
I don't know if it is a permissions problem. The GAL is bascially just the
results of an LDAP query. You might take a look at running the Group Policy
Results (from Group Policy Management Console) against both your DC's and
see if you can identify any inconsistencies...

Are both DC1 and DC2 Global Catalog Servers? If not, I'd make them both
GC's.

You might be able to limit which DC your client queries through a registry
entry, but that isn't really a solution to the problem, just a work-around.
The best thing to do here would be to start troubleshooting your DC's,
especiallly DC2. Look at event logs, run dcdiag, run replmon, Run the
Exchange Best Practices analyzer on your Exchange server.

All clients have the same problem! It is all the same which user or which
client!
Only in my OWA i got the GAL everytime!

Is there an permition problem in the AD?

Can I adjust something so that the client Connects only to the DC1?

The reason that I ask is that you were mentioning the OAB. The only
versions of Outlook that use the OAB by default are Outlook 2003 and
Outlook
2007 running in cached mode. All other clients will use the Global
Address
List.

Specifically which clients are having issues with seeing the GAL?

Hi,
I've got the following system:
Win 2000 Domain with 2 DC and one Windows 2003 Server with Exchange
2003
in
Native-Mode.

Now I have the following problem:
When the Outlook Clients connect to the Exchange all works so far
completely
well! But when I try to view the Global Address List I sometimes
can't
see
it. In both cases I checked the properties of the address list and
regarded
that if the list is empty the list is pointing to DC1 otherwise if
the
list
is shown the list points to DC1.
But why??

There is no problem with the outlook clients or the user accounts or
the
computer accounts (I checked with different ones)! There are no
errors
in
the
event log of the Exchange-Server and the generation of the OAB works
for
all
three versions!
The address list is shown on the server!
I'm at the end with my knowledge!!

thanks
simon bernschneider
