VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND means that the object supplied to a VSS operation could not be located. With AddToSnapshotSet, for example, the volume or remote file share name does not identify an existing supported object.

How to investigate for VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

  • Verify the volume, share, snapshot, or provider identifier passed to the API.
  • Use VSS administration tools to list available providers, writers, and shadow copies.
  • For remote shares, confirm the required UNC naming format and that the resource is still online.

Diagnostic interpretation

This result has the HRESULT value 0x80042308. AllStat records the condition as “The specified object was not found.”.

Evidence to capture

  • Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions this result or the vss / object / found operation.
  • Preserve the first failure in the call chain; a later HRESULT can describe cleanup rather than the original vss / object / found condition.
