Question : Event ID 32 - store *.pst has detected a catalog checkpoint

Server - Windows 2003 Small Business
Client - Windows XP SP3

I have a user that is getting kicked off the network (mapped drives, and printing functionality are lost) but Internet connection remains.

The only thing in the event logs that come up with any interest (both from the server and the user's machine) is:
Event ID 32:
The store C:\Documents and Settings\user.domain\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst has detected a catalog checkpoint.

Does this mean that the PST file is corrupted?  If so, why is the event ID informational and not a warning?

Answer : Event ID 32 - store *.pst has detected a catalog checkpoint

A catalog checkpoint means that Outlook reached a point where it has to save all the information stored in memory into the actual PST/OST file (to do a checkpoint) so at that point in time the PST/OST file contains up-to-date information. The checkpoint appears to be triggered by the Windows Search engine - basically the search engine is asking Outlook to update the PST/OST file with whatever it has in cache in order to be able to parse and index the content of that file. The event is "information" level only as this is not a problem (but sometimes the whole operation seems to fail and further event errors are recorded).
