Hi Victor,
I just had this
issue last week !
The All Address Lists has disapeared from ESM
!!!
In fact "someone"
(saw in security event log of my DC) who has the full exchange admin on the
organisation has made an error and deleted the "All Address Lists", then he
tried to recreate it but could not due to some replication issues, and a
collision occured !
So i wanted to
confirm this by I opening ADSIEDIT, go to
"CN=LostAndFoundConfig,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,,DC=fr", i saw that the List
was there but suffixed with a CNF as this:
"CN=All Address
ListsCNF;feffgee....", same as all chid lists and my personnal @
lists.
So that telling
that the lists was duped, and due replication issue, a collision
occured.
So I deleted
the the duped lists, ran forestprep, and the "All Address Lists" appeared
in ESM.
For your issue, you
have also lost the GAL, so do not forget to check:
1) that the GAL is
associated to the Offline GAL in ESM.
2) rebuild the
Offline GAL.
One issue i had is
for Outlook 2k3 in cache mode:
1) For those
clients that are configured in cache mode (.ost and .oab), you must force your
client to download the GAL + All Address Lists +GAL.
2) For those that
are configured in cache mode (only .ost), you also must to force the download of
the GAL.
Hope that
helps.

As Tony said, if they are deleted and you need the specific
contents back, an authoritative restore is your appropriate
response.
If the defaults work for you, you might just try rerunning
forestprep and domainprep, then touching each store setting the GAL for the
store.
I have seen security changes make them "appear" to
disappear. adsiedit.msc is where you go to deal with that....(although, again,
rerunning forestprep and domainprep will probably take care of it for
you)

What if the
containers mentioned in the subject title are 'suddenly' missing in
ESM?
I have not checked
(via adsiedit) if they are still in the Config.Nam.Context cause I just heard
this and have not had the chance to actually look at it.
If they are gone
from the conf.nam.cont. how can I get these folders back and what if they are
visible there but not in ESM.
Any help is greatly
appreciated.
