What does HRESULT 0x80EE0030 (RTC_E_PROFILE_NO_KEY) mean?

RTC_E_PROFILE_NO_KEY

Operational meaning: RTC_E_PROFILE_NO_KEY

This result belongs to the RTC provisioning profile validation boundary area of RTC and identifies the provisioning profile omits the required key field.

This result carries 0x80EE0030 in the RTC interface facility 0xEE; store the result value at the first RTC callback or method boundary, before retry logic replaces it with a broader timeout or connection message.

Start the result investigation by having the trace parse the profile with schema-aware diagnostics and identify the owning provision, user, server, or session element; do not skip the distinction that a missing field differs from a present field whose value or cross-field combination is invalid.

Signals worth preserving

• Code-specific proof: parse the profile with schema-aware diagnostics and identify the owning provision, user, server, or session element.
• Correlation key: server role/address/transport.
• Protocol or object snapshot: authentication method.
• Last completed transition: session type and party attributes.
• Expected output: redacted profile XML path/version.

Protocol and object state

CreateProfile validates the provisioning schema and cross-field constraints; a field can be present yet still be unusable with the chosen transport or role. The enabled profile selected for a call must support both the destination and the requested session type.

Verification workflow

1. Record it and 0x80EE0030 at the first RTC method or event that returns it.
2. Prove the condition by ensuring the trace can parse the profile with schema-aware diagnostics and identify the owning provision, user, server, or session element.
3. Apply one controlled change: supply the authoritative key value and regenerate the profile rather than inserting a guessed placeholder; then verify the result return value and resulting RTC state.

Do not confuse it with

Recovery and control flow

The owning RTC component should supply the authoritative key value and regenerate the profile rather than inserting a guessed placeholder; it should also settle or cancel its previous operation before callers begin a replacement.

Example: A provisioning template creates a profile without key and RTC rejects it before the profile can be enabled.

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.
