To use the Exchange Management Shell to view and modify offline address book settings

  • Run the following command to modify OAB settings:

    Set-OfflineAddressBook -Identity <OfflineAddressBookIdParameter> -AddressLists <AddressBookBaseIdParameter> -DiffRetentionPeriod <Nullable> -DomainController <Fqdn> -IsDefault <$true | $false> -Name <String> -PublicFolderDistributionEnabled <$true | $false> -Schedule <Schedule> -Versions <Collection> -VirtualDirectories <VirtualDirectoryIdParameter>

    For example, to modify the time and date at which the OAB generation occurs for an OAB named My OAB, run the following command:

    Set-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "My OAB" -Schedule "Sun.1:15 AM-Sun.1:30 AM"

    Note

    The Schedule parameter takes the following format and must include a range: Weekday.Hour:Minute[AM/PM]-Weekday.Hour:Minute[AM/PM].

  • Run the following command to view an OAB:

    Get-OfflineAddressBook -Identity <OfflineAddressBookIdParameter>

    For example, to view an OAB named My OAB, run the following command:

    Get-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "My OAB"

    Note

    The preceding command syntax provides you with a quick view of the copy status. To get full status output that shows all the fields, run the command with the output piped to the fl (formatted list) or ft (formatted table) option.

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see the Set-OfflineAddressBook reference topic.
