COM+ identity, role, and administration security: exact meaning of COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID

The application identity account or password is not valid. COM+ validates credentials configured for a server application identity before accepting or using them.

AllStat records this condition as “The identity or password set on the application is not valid”.

Where COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID occurs

This result concerns a concrete COM+ identity, role, credential, or call-authentication contract; successful interactive access does not prove that the COMAdmin or application identity can perform the operation. In the specific case of COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID, record the identity mode, account name, domain status, password-expiration state, logon rights, and the exact point where validation occurred.

Evidence to collect before repair

  • Evidence for COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID should include application AppID and identity mode, captured before a repair changes state.
  • Collect resolved account SID, domain, enabled/locked state, and password-expiration status when diagnosing COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID; without it the symbolic HRESULT is underdetermined.
  • The COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID investigation needs required logon rights and security-policy events so the exact failing boundary remains reconstructable.
  • For COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID, preserve the deployment step that last changed the identity credentials; it anchors the failure to the real administration object.

Diagnostic sequence for COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID

  • At the COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID boundary, verify the account independently without logging the password.
  • The next COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID diagnostic action is to confirm the account has the required COM+ server-application logon rights.
  • To isolate COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID, set current credentials through Component Services or COMAdmin.
  • For COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID, save the identity and recycle only the affected application.
  • At the COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID boundary, test activation and inspect logon failure events.

Difference from nearby COMADMIN results

COMADMIN_E_NOUSER means a principal cannot be resolved; this value can also cover a resolved account with invalid credentials.

Retry and recovery

Set a valid managed identity choice or current credentials through supported administration and verify required logon rights.

Practical administration scenario

A COM+ server application retains an expired password and fails when deployment attempts to save the identity configuration.
