WU_E_UNSUPPORTED_SEARCHSCOPE
WU_E_UNSUPPORTED_SEARCHSCOPE means the caller selected a search scope that the current search does not support. WUA distinguishes per-machine, per-user, and combined search behavior, and not every operation accepts every scope.
How to correct it
- Review the scope and server-selection options before starting the search.
- Use criteria and scope supported by the selected update source.
- Log the search options together with the criteria string so API failures can be reproduced.
