Answer 1

Hi,
Which version of Exchange are you using? Are you expericing a migration?
What action is taken when you received the error? Any other similar errors that you did not post?

You can try removing the spaces of the object name like step 5 in this blog: https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000516
Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Or you will need to re-create the corrupted OAB via powershell, then recreate the GAL and run commands to update:

Get-GlobalAddressList | Update-GlobalAddressList  
Get-AddressList | Update-AddressList
