Product Version	14.0 (Exchange 2010)
Event ID	1001
Event Source	MSExchangeFDS
Alert Type	Warning
Rule Path	Microsoft Exchange Server/Exchange 2010/Common Components/File Distribution Service
Rule Name	File Distribution Service: Manifest file for Offline Address Book is corrupted. Aborting current file synchronization operation.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the offline address book (OAB) manifest file (oab.xml) is corrupted and cannot be synchronized with an Exchange server that is running the Client Access server role. The OAB manifest file contains OAB entries. It is generated on an Exchange server that is running the Mailbox server role. The Microsoft Exchange File Distribution service that is running on the Client Access server replicates this file from the Mailbox server to the Client Access server every eight hours.

User Action

To resolve this error, regenerate the OAB file set that is specified in the event description. To do this, run the following Exchange Management Shell command from the Exchange server that logged this event:

Update-OfflineAddressBook -Identity <offline address book identifier>

Note:
In this command, replace <offline address book identifier> with the GUID that is specified for the OAB file that is set in the event description. For more information, see Update the Offline Address Book.
