Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You set the system locale of a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 server to a non-English language, such as Japanese.

  • You create an address list that uses a name longer than 11 characters. Additionally, the name contains Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS) characters.

  • You add the address list to an Offline Address Book (OAB), and then update the OAB.

In this scenario, the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service crashes on the Exchange Server 2010 server and the following event is logged in the Application log:
