I have 2 users that currently receive the following error during a
Send/Receive:

Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server' reported error (0x80070005) : 'The
Offline Address Book could not be updated because you have exceeded the
download limit set by your administrator. Please try again later.'

Servers are Exchange 5.5 SP4. As far as I know we have no limit set on
the servers for OAB download limits.... didn't know there were any
limits I could set.

Anyone seen this issue? Any ideas on fixing? My desktop support folks
tell me a new Outlook profile doesn't seem to fix it. Let me know!

Only thing that comes to my mind is an administrative template that is used
in a group policy. The registry keys that could be set are mentioned in
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sms/sms2003/deploy/deployexch2003oabusingsms.mspx.

Sounds like a permissions issue to me. You are unable to limit the amount of
users that you want to download anything from your system folders. If you
look at the error that you have listed in the send/receive its an access
denied error:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>err 0x80070005
# for hex 0x80070005 / decimal -2147024891
ecAccessDenied ec.h
ecPropSecurityViolation ec.h
MAPI_E_NO_ACCESS mapicode.h
E_ACCESSDENIED winerror.h

You might want to see if these users are part of a group that have deny
access to your information store.

I'm seeing the exact same error message as Brian, however it's intermittent,
and in a slightly different environment.

When manually attempting to download the address book in cached mode, all
users are getting the 0x80070005 error (exceeded download limit, etc.). If I
close Outlook, delete the six oab files under C:\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and
restart Outlook, it eventually starts downloading the oab files. However,
the problem will then reoccur a few hours or weeks later.

I'm running Exchange 2003 SP2 on Win2K3 SP1 and Outlook 2003 SP2 on all the
workstations. I've tried Oabinteg.exe and everything looks good. Any
suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

There really are no limits that we set to stop that. Deleting the files will
prompt the outlook client to do a full download. I am just curious but if
you run OABInteg with the oabfldcheck test, what are the size of the files.
Perhaps the files are exceeding a size limit that you have imposed for pf
replication and your clients are pulling from a different replica.

Also if you turn up diagnostic logging from within Outlook, what does it
show when you try to download the files?

The error that you are getting is an Access Denied

C:\WINDOWS\system32>err 0x80070005
# for hex 0x80070005 / decimal -2147024891

COR_E_UNAUTHORIZEDACCESS corerror.h
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED winerror.h
# Access is denied.
# 12 matches found for "0x80070005"

Is this a single server or do you have multiple servers that might have
different permissions on them that would stop the client from downloading
the files?

Below are my OABInteg results with the oabfldcheck test:

It does look like there is an error in regards to PR_OVERALL_AGE_LIMIT.
Anything relevant to the problem? I turned on the logging in Outlook under
Tools | Options | Other Tab | Advanced Options | Enable Mail Logging
(troubleshooting). Then looking at the OPMLog.log I got the following after
trying to download the OAB (getting the error) then closing Outlook multiple
times:

2006.11.09 11:22:31 <<<< Logging Started (level is LTF_TRACE) >>>>
2006.11.09 11:22:31 Resource manager terminated

2006.11.09 11:24:56 <<<< Logging Started (level is LTF_TRACE) >>>>
2006.11.09 11:24:56 Resource manager terminated

Doesn't look very revealing. Anyway to crank up the logging level to
something really verbose? We do have two servers in the Exchange
environment. From what I can see both have the same Reviewer Role for the
Default group under all the OAB System Folder permissions. Thanks for your
help.

You have to use the /v:2 switch is you want the most verbose output. This
tells me that all of the system folders are there and you don't need to
worry about the MAPI properties that were not found as this is normal
depending on the version of Exchange you are running.

I would make sure that the permissions in the active directory are
inheriting down and then also look at the store level objects. My suggestion
is to turn on Diagnostic logging from within outlook the next time this
problem happens.

I tried launching Outlook as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /recycle /v:2 and it doesn't seem to like it.
Looking at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011742661033.aspx?pid=CL100626971033
and http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/commandlines.htm I'm not seeing any
reference to Outlook Verbose Logging. It looks like the /v switch is used
for open vcf files. What am I missing here? Thanks.

Yup, that's been enabled all along. An example of what I get when the error
occurs below:

So it sounds like there isn't a more verbose logging option than what I'm
already running? Thanks.
