SYMPTOMS
When you try to generate an Offline Address Book (OAB) with an empty address list, the following error is logged in the Application log of the Event Viewer: Source: MSExchangeSA

Category: OAL Generator

Event ID: 9126

Description: OALGen encountered error [0x80040402] while calculating this OAL. This OAL will not be available for client download.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because OALGen retrieves address lists from Active Directory, and the constraint for the address list field in the database is defined as NOT NULL.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior:
 * 1) Log on to Exchange 2000 as an Exchange administrator.
 * 2) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
 * 3) Expand Recipients.
 * 4) Right-click Offline Address Lists, click New, and then click Offline Address List.
 * 5) Type the name of your offline address list in the Offline address list name field, click Browse, and then click Offline address list server.
 * 6) Click Add to add populated address lists from the Select Address lists menu, or accept the default Default Global Address List that is present in the Address lists field, and then click Next.
 * 7) Click Next, and then click Finish.
 * 8) Right-click Default Offline Address List, and then click Rebuild.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
