Dealing with ‘Microsoft Exchange Server’ reported error (0×8004010F)

Quite often when we try to synchronize MS Outlook offline address book with Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, we get the following error message

time Microsoft Exchange offline address book
time 0X8004010F
Task ‘Microsoft Exchange Server’ reported error (0×8004010F): ‘The operation failed. An object could not be found.’
Using a new .OST file to synchronize with Exchange does not solve the error.

Cause

Reason for this error 0×8004010F to crop up is any incorrect entry in the Offline address list server box in the Default Offline Address List Properties dialog box.

Resolution

To resolve this issue follow the given below steps:

1. Start Exchange System Manager.

2. Expand Recipients, and then click Offline Address Lists.

3. In the right pane, right-click Default Offline Address List, and then click Properties.

4. Note the computer name that appears in the Offline address list server box. If a deleted Active Directory service object appears in this box, specify a valid server. For this, follow these steps:

• Click Browse, click an Exchange server in the Select Exchange Server dialog box, and then click OK.

• In the Default Offline Address List dialog box, click OK.

5. Examine the properties of the server’s mailbox store to verify that the correct offline address list is specified. Perform the following:

• If administrative groups are enabled, expand Administrative Groups, and then expand the appropriate administrative group.

• Expand Servers, and then expand the Exchange 2000 server.

• Expand the appropriate storage group, right-click Mailbox Store (ServerName), and then click Properties.

• In the Mailbox Store (ServerName) Properties dialog box, click the General tab.

• Verify that Default Offline Address List appears in the Offline address list box.

6. Exit Exchange System Manager.

7. Restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service for allowing the Exchange scheduled online maintenance.
