SYMPTOMS
When a user tries to download the offline Address Book, that user may receive the following error messages:
CAUSE
This issue can occur if the user cannot gain access to the directory because access to the directory has been limited with search permissions (on the Permissions tab on either the Organization, Site, or Configuration container).
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, either remove the search permissions from the container or grant permissions for the container to the Microsoft Windows NT account of the user.
MORE INFORMATION
If you set search permissions, you may inadvertently limit access to information in the Exchange Server directory. Before you apply any search permissions, make sure that you understand the ramifications of this action.
If incorrect search permissions are set and the client downloads the offline Address Book, there may not be any Address Books displayed to choose from under the Address Book section.
