Adress List not showing in Outlook Client or OWA
Hi,
we have exchange hybrid environment and I want to create a custom address list for our pool cars/projectors/cameras.
Since this can be done only over Powershell I execute a simple command: New-AddressList -Name 'Pool Cars', recipientfilter needs fine tuning but I have manged to get one car into the list with the customattribute1 which has a value: car. So far so good. But the list is not showing in the outlook client or outlook OWA.
We are currently having a problem when downloading an OAB, and it states 0x80190194, event viewer shows "OAB Download Failed. (Result code in event data)." Event ID 27". I expect this to be solved by our colleagues but I should still be able to see the new list in OWA?
Am I missing some step to enable the list in the outlook address book? It is being listed under root container or \.
Cheers
Hi Tonito_Dux,
I was able to reproduce your issue. I created an AddressList named 'Pool Cars'. This one wasn't available in OWA/Outlook.
After that, I created a new one wit the following cmdlt:
New-AddressList 'Pool Cars' -Container "\Pool Cars"Same result. Address List missing. Then I edited it like the following, ( only as example/testing š
Set-AddressList 'Pool Cars' -RecipientFilter "(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox')"After some minutes of replication, the address list was available:
You could also check the address list state with:
Get-AddressList 'Pool Cars' | fl Container,Path,DisplayName,IsValid,IncludedRecipientsRegarding missing object in a Hybrid environment address list, that's a know issue and easy to fix:

- Hi,
thank you for your thorough answer and sorry for not replying before. I was able to solve the problem in the meantime the same way you did.
ā¢ Connect to EXO PS.
ā¢ New-AddressList āidentity āNameā
ā¢ New-AddressList āidentity āNameā āContainer āMain Folder Nameā ā this will create āName under āMain Folder Nameā, like a tree structure.
ā¢ Recipient filter has to be then definied for the new address list otherwise it wont hold any users/objects/resources.
Example of a filter for a car resource:
set-addresslist -identity 'Autos' -recipientFilter "(CustomAttribute1 -eq 'Auto') -and (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox')"
Custom Attribute has to be defined on the object in local EX or AD under āexternsionAttribute1ā.
ā¢ Force AD Sync
ā¢ Wait for 5-10min
ā¢ Check if the wanted members are in the new addresslist:
get-user -filter "((CustomAttribute1 -eq 'Auto') -and (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox'))"
ā¢ IMPORTANT: If nothing is listed, then update the object in AD with ANY value just to initiate the ārefreshā. For example add a city to the object and the force dir sync. Later remove the value.
ā¢ Run ā Get-AddressBook | Update-AddressBook ā in EXO
There are couple of screenshots missing with the steps outlined above but it is because there are some company related info which I want to keep out of public.
Cheers
- Yes, address lists should be visible in both premises, provided you created the address lists in both locations (on-prem & online).
