Diagnostic interpretation of FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME

FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME has the HRESULT value 0x80045308. AllStat records the condition as “The specified name is invalid.”. For FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME, in practice, interpret that wording at the boundary owned by File Server Resource Manager configuration, rather than treating the value as a generic Windows message.

Evidence to capture for FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME

  • Record the exact COM method or Windows API, its input object, the calling thread, and the full 0x80045308 value before a wrapper converts it to an exception or Boolean result.
  • Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME or the fsrm / name operation.
  • Reproduce FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME with the smallest valid input and note whether the result changes with identity, architecture, service state, or target object.

Retry and recovery for FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME

Retry FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME only when the owning API documents a transient state or after the condition described as “The specified name is invalid.” has changed. For FSRM_E_INVALID_NAME, configuration, policy, format, and authorization failures normally require correction first; an immediate loop can hide the original call site and add secondary errors.
