RTC_E_INVALID_PROFILE

What the RTC value marks: RTC_E_INVALID_PROFILE

Diagnosis begins inside creating or enabling an XML profile that defines user identity, servers, transports, authentication, and supported session types, where the relevant condition for this HRESULT is the profile object as a whole is not valid for the requested RTC operation.

The numeric form of this result is 0x80EE002E in the RTC interface facility 0xEE; an exception translator handling it should preserve this value before converting it into application-facing call or presence states.

Evidence should show that you collect the first specific profile validation result and the XML/profile generation path; the diagnostic distinction is that this umbrella result should not replace more specific PROFILE_NO_* or PROFILE_INVALID_* evidence.

A safe diagnostic sequence

  1. Collect enough evidence to collect the first specific profile validation result and the XML/profile generation path.
  2. Test the competing explanation explicitly, because this umbrella result should not replace more specific PROFILE_NO_* or PROFILE_INVALID_* evidence.
  3. Apply the targeted fix — recreate the profile from valid provisioning data and do not reuse an object whose creation or enable step failed — and validate both protocol completion and object cleanup.

The result diagnosis is strongest when object state and protocol trace share timestamps and transaction identifiers; when diagnosing this result, avoid treating packet capture and HRESULT logging as substitutes for one another.

Evidence that separates the cause

  • Code-specific proof: collect the first specific profile validation result and the XML/profile generation path.
  • Identity and target: authentication method.
  • State at production: session type and party attributes.
  • Timing and ordering: redacted profile XML path/version.

RTC_E_PROFILE_NO_SERVER_ADDRESSthe provisioning profile omits the required server address field
RTC_E_LOCAL_PHONE_NEEDEDthe selected phone-service operation requires a local telephone number that the profile does not provide
RTC_E_PROFILE_MULTIPLE_REGISTRARSthe profile defines more than one registrar server where RTC requires one unambiguous registrar

How to handle the result

The appropriate response to it is not a blanket reconnect. Instead, recreate the profile from valid provisioning data and do not reuse an object whose creation or enable step failed, while preserving ownership of cleanup and any bounded retry.

Example: A cached profile object is used after its provisioning source was rejected and never enabled successfully.

Actions that do not address this condition

  • Do not log passwords or provisioning secrets from profile XML.
  • Do not insert placeholder values solely to pass schema validation.
