Parameters
lpcbEntryID
[out] A pointer to the byte count in the entry identifier pointed to by the lppEntryID parameter.

Clients call the GetPAB method to retrieve the entry identifier of the container designated as the PAB. If a PAB has not been established in the profile, MAPI selects as the PAB the first container in the address book hierarchy that allows modifications.
