We do fill in the OAB URL by pressing the "Fetch List".
To recap we have an empty
"GAL Contacts" and Permissions on that returns Folder ID:
AQMkAGI1ZGQAY2Q1Yi0xYmEwLTQ5ZjgtODM3MS1mNGJlOWM1YjVjODIALgAAA5j5jj2NMD9MhVBA0vVlm68BAIVnPH/J9WJOirWYMhlUr6MAAAIBIQAAAA==
Trying to remove this list returns an error:
"Distinguished folders cannot be deleted."

Then we have, a working
"Default Global Address List" and Permissions on that gives a minor
error: "Id is malformed" but still lists Folder ID:
   b55aabf5-e9a2-4e2f-b94c-6d0e7afbb65d:Default Global Address List
Apparently this name is the standard name in Exchange 2013 

In addition we have two empty lists which can be deleted but these will
return after a while:
{06967759-274D-40B2-A3EB-D7F9E73727D7}
{A9E2BC46-B3A0-4243-B315-60D991004455}
They have both the same Folder ID as "GAL Contacts" and might be related
to Lync?
