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.
 
Yann

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.
