Microsoft Office and DFS namespace

Hey guys

We recently switch our folder redirection to a DFS server and now we have users experiencing "Trying to Connect to domain.local

and I don't think its an error more just a visual message but is there anything we can do to disable or fix the issue? We have Windows 7 Clients w/ Office 2010 and Windows 8 Clients w/ Office 2013 both experiencing it when the Click on "Open" or"Save in the application.
