Description: OALGen encountered file error 80070008 (internal ID 50101d6) while generating the offline address list for address list '\Global Address List'. Make sure there is enough disk space available.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you try to generate an offline Address Book from an address list that contains many addresses. You might experience this problem if your Details.oab file attachment is 900 megabytes (MB) or larger. All offline Address Book file attachment sizes are compressed sizes. This problem occurs during the rebuild process when Exchange tries to uncompress the Details.oab file attachment into memory. In this scenario, the uncompressed offline Address Book file attachment is too big to fit in memory.

In Exchange 2003, the Mad.exe process does not currently support the /3GB switch in the Boot.ini file. Therefore, the Mad.exe process can only use a 2-gigabyte (GB) address space. If you have an uncompressed offline Address Book details file that is 1 GB or larger, Exchange 2003 cannot map this file. Therefore, the OABGEN component in Exchange 2003 cannot successfully generate the offline Address Book.
