In my previous post I write about updating the GAL and OAB in Exchange.
But what if you want to change the default update schedule?
There’s a PowerShell command for that… 😉

1 2 3 4 |
get-offlineaddressbook | set-offlineaddressbook -schedule “Sun.5:00 AM-Sun.6:00 AM, Sun.10:00 AM-Sun.11:00 AM, Sun.3:00 PM-Sun.4:00 PM, Sun.8:00 PM-Sun.9:00 PM,` Mon.5:00 AM-Mon.6:00 AM, Mon.10:00 AM-Mon.11:00 AM, Mon.3:00 PM-Mon.4:00 PM, Mon.8:00 PM-Mon.9:00 PM, ` Tue.5:00 AM-Tue.6:00 AM, Tue.10:00 AM-Tue.11:00 AM, Tue.3:00 PM-Tue.4:00 PM, Tue.8:00 PM-Tue.9:00 PM, ` Wed.5:00 AM-Wed.6:00 AM, Wed.10:00 AM-Wed.11:00 AM, Wed.3:00 PM-Wed.4:00 PM, Wed.8:00 PM-Wed.9:00 PM” |
This script will change the update schedule from once a day to 4 times a day.
Note that this may cause performance issues on you Exchange server and/or clients so use it wisely or change it to your liking 😉
—- UPDATE —
I received feedback about this post from @JetzeMellema.
Warning taken from TechNet: “Frequent updating is generally not recommended because frequent updating may affect client and server performance”.
Please read the TechNet article before changing the GAL update schedule!!!
Performance issue when updating several times a day sounds logical thanks for the info!
I have this configured on an Exchange 2010 with OAB virtual directory polling at 5 minutes and an OAB Update Schedule of every 15 minutes. There are no performance issues running a single server and 113 mailboxes.
