Very Computer

I am getting an error when trying to generate the Offline Address book in
Exchange Admin.  It appears of if it has been removed.

Situation:
I moved all my mailboxes to a new server.  I also had the new server
replicate all the public folder info from the old server.  Once replicated I
removed the replicas from the old server.  I believe the OAB did not
replicate over and now I cannot generate it from either of the servers, nor
can i download it from the client.

The Event ID and error I am getting is very general and cannot be found in
TechNet:

"EVENT ID: 5004
Source:MSExchangeSA
Generation of the offline Address Book is complete. Result: An error
occurred. "

IS there any way to make this again?  Please say yes.

Thanks in advance.

I tried that and got the same error on all servers.  It looks as if I lost
the copy of the OAB.  Can I create a new one??
