OCS Addressbook error (Resolved)

While expanding a distribution list OCS user recieve the below error

Error 1

Cannot synchronize with the corporate address book. This may be because the proxy server setting in your web browser does not allow access to the address book. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.

Error 2

Distribution group service could not perform this action .Contact system administrator to investigate this problem.

Case study :

The issue happened because of the internal certificate which is renewed.

I took the configuration information of the MOC client and took the internal Url entry

Eg. Internal From Server :https://ocspool.mydomain.com.com/Abs/Int/Handler.

While browsing this URL I found it was not opening. Then checked the IIS in one frontend server and checked the certificate associated to that (edit bindings-option) Select new certificate and clicked OK.

And Issue is resolved :)

One solution  as below

Solution :

The first part of  errors mainly due to the SQL server connectivity and  second part is with the compatibility issue

. Check the SQL server whether named pipe and TCP/IP configuration have enabled or not. Also check whether  the required ports are enabled on the SQL server firewall, you will be able to solve the first part.

Install the service pack of SQL  2008 to rectify the second issue
