createmsgservice failed. Error code: 8004010f

We were trying out a new imaging process and could not add iManage FileSite to a new user's Outlook 365 32-bit v1808 using ADDIMAN (or manually via Data File Management). This is an Outlook error rather than one specific to iManage.

Fortunately we found an on-point forum post which pointed towards a missing C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\MAPISVC.INF - copying this file (and grandparent folder as far back as MSMAPI) from a known-good machine cleared the problem.

Americans shut Canadian service personnel out of Thanksgiving

-
Not content with having their harvest festival at a stupid time of year, the Americans have... oh let's just let Barbara Mair tell her story from today's Star letters page : In August 2006, my nephew left his wife and 5-year-old daughter for a 6-month tour of duty in Afghanistan. He, like so many other Canadian military personnel, did this for love of his country and to fight for freedom that too many of us take for granted. On Oct. 9, 2006, our family sat down to the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We talked about Afghanistan and wondered if those stationed there would be able to enjoy a similar meal.

Being the passive Canadian family, we thought Thanksgiving would be observed on the American holiday, Nov. 23 and didn't voice our disappointment at the time. Can you imagine the shock and disappointment that our troops felt yester...

British Airways should have stood firm

As someone who flies BA as frequently as I can, at least until Willie Walsh's penny pinching ruins it, I have been following the Nadia Eweida story on and off. Ms Eweida is a BA check in agent at London Heathrow with seven years service. She was wearing a visible cross in breach of BA's uniform policy for employees dealing directly with the public. The existing protocol is that all jewellery or religious symbols which can practicably be worn concealed, should be concealed. An offer of a back office job was made (and rejected) which would have allowed Ms Eweida to wear the cross externally. Exceptions are made for employees for whom the wearing of items is a mandatory requirement of their faith, e.g. Sikh turbans or bangles and subject to health and safety requirements in respect of machinery such as luggage belts. While BA is being hammered for this, other British based airlines such as Virgin and BMI have a similar policy . Ms Eweida did not demonstrate that wearing a c...

ADK version not updating in SCCM

-
 I recently updated the ADK on my SCCM server to current, but the ADK version in SCCM (Boot Images, Upgrade Distribution Points) remained stubbornly at 10.0.19041 and I could not access the Drivers tab on my boot image (which is what happens when your image and your reported ADK don't match). Various repairs, reboots and general hacking and slashing came to nought. What did work in the end was running Start, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, Configure ConfigMgr Integration and take the default (for me) option to remove the MDT extensions (console extensions only). After running that, the ADK version matched up.
