WU_E_IDLESHUTDOWN_OPCOUNT_SEARCH

WU_E_IDLESHUTDOWN_OPCOUNT_SEARCH means the agent was attempting to become idle while a search request was still recorded as active. It usually accompanies an interrupted scan or overlapping caller activity.

How to interpret it

  • Check the log sequence for a search that was cancelled, timed out, or interrupted by service shutdown.
  • Avoid starting parallel WUA scans against the same agent session when building management software.
  • If this is seen after a restart, verify whether a later scan completed successfully before treating it as the root cause.
