Crm Exception: Message: 'Organization' entity doesn't contain attribute with Name = 'orgdborgsettings'., ErrorCode: -2147217149
Symptoms

-
In Add / Remove Programs on the Outlook client machine locate the CRM Online August Monthly Update and then click Uninstall.
-
Click Go Online in the Outlook client.

Install the CRM Online August Monthly Update.
-
The next time the client goes offline the attribute orgdborgsettings will be created.
