I can't get the client side to show current OAB, but I'm wondering if it has to do with my SMB permissions.

Can you think of a reason (on Exchange 2007 / SBS2008) that the permissions on the OAB virtual directory would reset upon a server reboot such that domain users are no longer able to download the OAB? The only fix I've had any success with is to manually add back appropriate permissions for autheticated users after each reboot. The IIS_IUSRS group also has rights, but this does not seem to matter.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038595186858788747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-32121635674985171772013-01-01T17:58:25.021-08:002013-01-01T17:58:25.021-08:00Generally the first mailbox server you build becom...Generally the first mailbox server you build becomes the OABGen server.

If you right click the OAB in exchange management console and click move you can elect another mailbox server to generate it.<br /><br />If you have more then one OAB then you can have more then one OABGen server because you can elect each OAB to be generated by a different mailbox server.Clint Boessenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156487394562821934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-19548109327084941322012-12-30T06:12:56.451-08:002012-12-30T06:12:56.451-08:00Splendid Post...I have bookmarked it.
