The solution and description to this error is set out below;

When returning from holidays I  tried to turn off my out of office message in Microsoft Outlook. I received the message error message “The command is not available. See the program documentation about how to use this extension.”

1. Close Microsoft Outlook
2. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
3. On the Processes tab, verify that Outlook.exe does not appear in the list of processes. If it does, click Outlook.exe and then click End Process.
4. On the File menu, click Exit Task Manager.
5. Click Start, and then click Run.
6. In the Open box, type regedit and then click OK.
7. Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook
8. Right-click the Resiliency subkey (if it exists), and then click Rename.
9. Type Resiliency.old or whatever, and then press ENTER.
10. Quit the Registry Editor.
11. Start Outlook, and then click Out of Office Assistant on the Tools menu.

I hope you too have Found A Fix!
