You don't need to use the GUID per se, but in your examples above you seem to have provided the value of "Offline Global Address List", which is no the identity of your OAB, thus the error. The correct value would be "Default Offline Address Book".
Did you create a new OAB, or trying to use the default one? If the latter, use the "Default Offline Address Book" value. The value you are currently providing seems to correspond to the default OAB address list, which is not the same thing as an actual OAB object. Use Get-OfflineAddressBook to list them, and New-OfflineAddressBook to create one, if needed.
You probably want to create a new GAL as well.

I created a new address list 'Association Contacts', that I want to make available to a single group of users. In this command I am just trying to create an address book policy that assigns the new list to the intended user group. Is it possible to create a policy that uses the existing address books/lists with the addition of the new address list? Maybe I am off the mark in how best to proceed in this scenario, super grateful for any knowledge you can share on this!
- You can reuse the existing GAL/OAB, yes. But you need to provide their corresponding identities (or GUIDs) in the cmdlet above, not the address lists they "consist of".
- I see, and how would I retrieve the GUID for the address lists? When I use Get-OfflineAddressBook, I only get the following output: Name: Default Offline Address Book, Versions: {Version4}, AddressLists: {\Offline Global Address List}
