An Offline Address Book entry in the profile.... Now it's been at least 24 months since I messed with this, so don't hold me to it, but I don't think there is such a thing. There's the Outlook Address Book service in the profile, but it's not related to the Offline Address Book I don't think. Then there's the option in the synchronization settings to download the Offline Address Book, but IIRC (and I'm certainly not saying that I do) the Offline Address Book downloading process looks to one of the OAB files which contains a checkpoint file to determine what changes need to be downloaded.
