Workaround

If you cannot apply one of the hotfixes that are mentioned in the "Resolution" section, you can work around this issue by using one of the following methods.

Method 1

Delete the existing recurring meeting, and then re-create it by using Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access.

Method 2

Locate the recurring meeting by using MFCMAPI, and then fix the corrupted property.

To locate the recurring meeting, follow these steps:

Download the latest MFCMAPI.
Start MFCMAPI.
Click Tools, and then click Options.
Select the following two options, and then click OK:
- Use the MDB_ONLINE flag when calling OpenMsgStore
- Use the MAPI_NO_CACHE flag when calling OpenMsgStore
Click QuickStart, select Open Folder, and then click Calendar.
Select the organizer's Outlook profile, and then click OK. If you receive a "MAPI_E_NO_ACCESS" error, click OK until the error closes, and then follow these steps:
1. Click Table, click Set Columns, and then click OK.
2. Locate "PR_DISPLAY_TO" in the Property Tag Array (usually it is in number 10), select it, and then click Delete.
Sort by using the From column.
Locate the recurring meeting that contains "Err:0x8004010F" in the From field.

To fix the corrupted property, follow these steps:

Select a meeting for which the organizer's display name shows correctly in the From field.
In the Property name(s) list, locate the PR_SENT_REPRESENTING_NAME property, right-click it, and then click Copy Property.
Select the recurring meeting that contains "Err:0x8004010F" in the From field, right-click the PR_SENT_REPRESENTING_NAME property, and then click Paste property. If the issue is fixed, the organizer's display name shows in From filed instead of "Err:0x8004010F."
If "Err:0x8004010F" still appears, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the PR_Sender_Name property.
