– Migrated a few more users from 2010 to the 2013 databases. Migrated mailboxes will inherit the Offline Address Book parameter of the database unless specified at the mailbox level. – Assigned the new OAB to each new mailbox database in Exchange 2013.

The error message is The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.I looked into the OAB connection issue further and found that other people had been manually creating the OAB(s) in the Exchange 2013 environment, rather than relying on the auto generated (Ex 2013) version of the OAB that’s created when you add a Exchange 2013 server into a 2010/2007 environment.

When trying to press the "Add" button you'll get the following error: Now this is a rather large installation, but only one of the servers are offline: When opening the OAB, you'll wait for a LOONG time, and then get an error.
