Office Suite Signatures shows a dropdown with your email address and "signatures on this device" This is caused by "Roaming Signatures" If your are one of those people that has a lot of signatures on your device you may want to disable the drop down. Here is the fix via the registry. Logged on as the user with the issue (which you may need to make a local admin temporarily if not already to edit the registry ) run Regedit and browse to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Setup\ Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Name it "DisableRoamingSignaturesTemporaryToggle" and set value to "1" Close Regedit and reopen Outlook and confirm Roaming Signatures are disabled. Note: Do not forget to set the user back to a local user as necessary and logoff or reboot.

ADMT  received the following error when merging accounts from 2 domains. I found that the domains being from different countries had different letters/accents.  The destination domain had Standard American characters for the usernames for example: Jeroma Cotec However on the source domain was: Jérôma Cotéç That caused the error above. We renamed the source domain user to standard US characters and the user merged with no issues. Jeroma Cotec
