TPM_E_ZERO_EXHAUST_ENABLED

TPM_E_ZERO_EXHAUST_ENABLED means TPM-related network operations are blocked because the client is in Zero Exhaust mode. The status reflects a policy or protection state, not a failed local cryptographic primitive.

What to check

  • Identify the service attempting the network operation and the policy that enables Zero Exhaust behavior on the device.
  • Check whether the operation is required for enrollment, attestation, recovery, or a management workflow.
  • Adjust policy only through the approved management path; clearing TPM state will not by itself resolve a network-operation policy block.
