The Microsoft Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook intermittently popping up

I am having this pop up intermittently for all users. It never requires them to close Outlook but still occurs fairly often. Any ideas where to start? My searching has come up with nothing of substance

Can you post the message the user gets?
Timeout?
The restart is needed because access/connection drops?
Hi,

Please check the attribute msExchHomePublicMDB for the Database which is hosting these user mailboxes using ADSIEdit.msc. Verify that it is pointing to a correct PF Database, if it is not, please modify it accordingly. If there is no PF Database, then clear the attribute.

Hey there,

This problem generally arises in either of the following cases:

while you use Outlook 2013 version 15.0.4551.1004 and later versions
or in case you have moved the mailbox to some other location

In both the cases even if you restart the Outlook, the message will continue to popup.

In order to resolve this problem you must apply the 2863911 update for Microsoft Outlook 2013. To know more about this update please refer following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2770432

In case this does not work please incorporate the following manual methods (taken from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/KbView/2934750):

Do you have more than one server?
That message usually pops up when you have a DAG and a failover event takes place.
I have seen it also happen though when the DNS records are not configured correctly.

This is a single server.

I am using a version of outlook later than you gave.

I do not have a public folder database...is that the issue you think? I've seen some people mention that helping, even though they do not use the public folder.
Would you kindly post the image of the error you get?
if you need to masq your name/username/domain capture the image using alt+print screen and paste the data into mspain or similar. save as jpg/png and post here .

There was not a public database or mailbox setup. Using some other research I found that this could lead to the problems I was experiencing. Created these and the popups went away. Odd since they do not use any public mailboxes
