Distibution lists disapear from GAL and OAB

Q: I have a problem where it only seems to be for one customer where in outlook only the distribution lists keep disappearing.  We can recreate them and they work for a week or so then they just disappear.
    You can still see them in OWA just not Outlook so I though it would be a Offline Address Book thing but can't see anything wrong with it. How to fix it?

A:The Domain recipient update service should be disabled in HMC 3.5.
MPS is responsible for stamping 'showInAddressBook' instead of RUS.

Here is a batch file to fix it:



@echo off
echo. > %temp%\ldf.log
dsquery * "OU=%*,OU=SampleOU,OU=Hosting,DC=domain,DC=com" -filter grouptype=8 | sort > c:\l.txt
set a=%*
For /F "tokens=2 delims==, " %%a in ('type c:\l.txt') Do (
echo Fixing Group %%a
rem echo %a%
echo dn: CN=%%a,OU=%a%,OU=SampleOU,OU=Hosting,DC=domain,DC=com> %temp%\galfix.ldf
echo changetype: modify>> %temp%\galfix.ldf
echo replace: showInAddressBook>> %temp%\galfix.ldf
echo showInAddressBook: CN=%a% AL,CN=All Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=Domain,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com  >> %temp%\galfix.ldf
echo showInAddressBook: CN=%a% GAL,CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=Domain,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com >> %temp%\galfix.ldf
echo -  >> %temp%\galfix.ldf
echo Fixing Group %%a >> %temp%\ldf.log
ldifde -i -f %temp%\galfix.ldf >> %temp%\ldf.log
)
echo.
echo log file %temp%\ldf.log

About Grouptype:

    *  2 - Global distribution group
    *  4 - Domain local distribution group
    *  8 - Universal distribution group

the command would be batfile.bat name_of_ou
