    Dear Thameur-BOURBITA Thanks for the answer, however what should we do with regards to OAB, we have Default offline address book, its virtualdirectories still pointing to old Exchange server 2016, so should allow any virtual directory in the organization to accept requests to download the OAB ? or to specific 2019 Exchange server?
