Exchange Your Administrator has made a change and requires you to restart Outlook

If you are facing this kind of problem on Exchange and outlook there are severar reason fo that.

1. At first you can download this tool and evaluate any Office 20XX client problems

Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT) information

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2812744

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36852

The problem arises when an Outlook client connects to the CAS array and initially, if outlook connects to the CAS array member that contains the PF role, then Outlook converges all connections and displays both the Public and Private logons as one single connection (the CAS array name). When the Clients IP address changes, and it Re-connects, if it gets connected to a CAS array member that does not have the PF server, then we get an ECwrong server Response from Exchange, Outlook in its reconnect logic Cannot follow the Redirection Result that contains the correct PF server name, and displays the Error "The Administrator has made a change that requires you restart Outlook"

2. Mitigations:

You have the option to completely suppress the dialog:

How to suppress the pop-up "The Microsoft Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook" in Outlook 2010

• Uncheck the option “Show Microsoft Exchange Messages” from the Outlook icon on taskbar, and test the behavior.

This setting is controlled by the registry value..

Name: Exchange

Type: DWORD

Value: 1 (on) / 0 (off)

3. It could be related to Public folder problem

4. If you put in standby your pc and outlook is not correctly closed autodiscover and pc wake un can give you that alert

[update 2016.05.18]

5. Here is an interesting article that explain ADSI edit check to view if Exchange DB references to wrong Public Folder DB

[UPDATE 2016.05.30]

On a DAG Exchange 2010 configuration here is an interesting article that indicate public folder wrong configuration was the main problem, in my case was the correct answer.

On a Exchange server PF was correctly configured with replication, on the other one PF was not well configurated replication, once done that everythings worked better.

Exchange Scoped Send Connector meaning and how to manually change Routing weight overriding Ad Sites costs

On Exchange Server about hub transport connector for outgoing email there is an option that some time it could be misunderstood, it is "Scoped Send Connector" checkbox.

When you mark a send connector as scoped, this means it can only be used by Exchange 2007/2010 hub transport or Exchange 2013 mailbox servers in the same Active Directory site as the send connector.

If not selected, the connector can be used by all transport servers in the Exchange environment.

A Send Connector is not bound/limited to any specific Active Directory site but a merely object in Active Directory!

Example:

Let us suppose to have an AD Site called "Contoso HQ" and the site has 4 transport servers whether they be Exchange 2010 Hub Transport servers or Exchange 2013 mailbox servers.

Two of these servers are marked as source servers of the scoped send connector and two arent.

The two servers which are a member as a source server of the send connector can obviously use the send connector. The other two transport servers in the same Active Directory site which are not source servers can also use the scoped send connector, all other transport servers in other sites - bad luck!

Unchecking as scoped it means that transport servers in other sites can relay through the send connector if there is no closer option for external mail relay.

To get AD Site and View Cost:

Get-AdSiteLink

Almost all are aware of the fact that Exchange 2010 uses AD Sites and Services information to route emails from one AD site to another.

So you could think to change AD Sites costs but, in large organizations, as changing the existing AD site costs may affect the production network or the AD team just don’t want to make any changes.

Exchange 2010 (infact 2007 as well) has a solution for the above scenario. There is a way by which you can change the email routing without making any changes to the AD site link costs. It is known as “Exchange Cost” and is not configured by default.

This is the command syntax:

Set-ADSiteLink –identity “link name” –ExchangeCost “cost”

The maximum message size that passes through a site link can be restricted as well. It will come in handy if the link between the site is not great. Run the command below to specify a size limit for communications between various AD sites.

Set-ADSiteLink –identity “link name” –MaxMessageSize “size”

IIS restarting parameters

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758159(v=ws.10).aspx

You need to change on all CAS this register value:

Log on to the Client Access server.
Start Registry Editor (regedit).
Locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSExchange OWA.
Create the following DWORD value if it doesnt already exist: ChangeExpiredPasswordEnabled. The value type will be REG_DWORD.
Set the value of ChangeExpiredPasswordEnabled to 1.
Exit Registry Editor.
After you configure this DWORD value, you must reset IIS. The recommended method to reset IIS is to use IISReset /noforce from a command prompt.
The /noforce parameter is recommended as a safeguard against data loss in case the IIS services cannot all be stopped within the one minute timeout period. If you are certain that it is safe to force IIS to restart, you can omit the /noforce parameter. In addition,
