McpManagementService Error Code: 15100 – Failed to Read Description

When you open Services MMC and double-click “McpManagementService”, the properties dialog may show the error 15100.

Failed to Read Description. Error Code: 15100

The error occurs because the file McpManagementService.dll doesn’t have the specific string resource embedded into it. Whereas the service’s registry setting points to two non-existent string resources, namely: McpManagementService.dll,-100 and McpManagementService.dll,-101

3. Set the value data for DisplayName and Description values to the following:

   Universal Print Management Service

4. Exit the Registry Editor.

The MMC should show “Universal Print Management Service” for the service name and description.
