i am having an issue with the oab on client machines. We are running exchange
2003 sp2, and most clients are running outlook 2003 sp1. What we have found
is that the clients running outlook 2003 sp1 have not had their oab updated
for some time and consequently are unable to see any new additions to the
gal, even on brand new profiles, the oab reaches a max size of about 19MB and
then just stops. However, if KB913807 is applied the issue dissapears.
Installing sp2 for office also resolves the issue of the oab downloading
fully and updating correctly. The issue only seems to have started occurring
after sp2 was installed on the exchange server.
Is any body able to shed some light on what i should be looing for with
regards to this issue? I know that sp2 uses a different version of the oab,
would putting sp2 on the exchange server mean that the versions arent
compatible with clients running sp1?
