RTC_E_PROFILE_INVALID_SERVER_ROLE
What the RTC value marks: RTC_E_PROFILE_INVALID_SERVER_ROLE
Read this result as an RTC state-machine result: at this point in creating or enabling an XML profile that defines user identity, servers, transports, authentication, and supported session types, the profile contains an invalid server role value or combination.
Log this result as 0x80EE0039 in the RTC interface facility 0xEE, not only as a signed decimal; for this HRESULT, the facility distinguishes local RTC validation from a response status mapped by the stack.
The first useful check for this HRESULT is to record the exact value, XML element, allowed enumeration, and related transport/role/session fields; The result must be separated from nearby conditions because the field is present, so adding another copy will not fix semantic validation.
A safe diagnostic sequence
- Start from
0x80EE0039and this result, then find the method/event pair that first exposed it. - check whether the failure was local before transmission, produced during RTC state validation, or mapped from a remote response.
- the proof step is to record the exact value,
XMLelement, allowed enumeration, and related transport/role/session fields. - keep the analysis at the right boundary: the field is present, so adding another copy will not fix semantic validation.
- after you replace it with a documented value consistent with the rest of the profile and revalidate from source, repeat the smallest reproducer rather than restarting the entire application environment.
Use RTC event state to interpret the protocol trace for this HRESULT, and use the trace to verify what left or reached the host; for this HRESULT, this two-sided correlation identifies the producing layer.
Evidence that separates the cause
Correlate this result at source: the method or callback, the owning object generation, and the active protocol transition; for this HRESULT, this keeps later retries from obscuring causality.
- Code-specific proof for this HRESULT: record the exact value,
XMLelement, allowed enumeration, and related transport/role/session fields. - Identity and target for this HRESULT: server role/address/transport.
- State at production for this HRESULT: authentication method.
- Timing and ordering for this HRESULT: session type and party attributes.
When recording it, redact credentials, full telephone numbers, private contact lists, and message bodies; for this HRESULT, retain permitted URI domains, header names, byte counts, hashes, transaction identifiers, timestamps, and state transitions.
Protocol and object boundary
| RTC area | RTC provisioning profile validation boundary |
|---|---|
| Objects to correlate | profile XML, provision/user/server/session elements, registrar and proxy roles, transport and authentication method |
| Condition to prove | the profile contains an invalid server role value or combination |
| Safe corrective direction | replace it with a documented value consistent with the rest of the profile and revalidate from source |
The surrounding protocol rule for this HRESULT is that CreateProfile validates the provisioning schema and cross-field constraints; a field can be present yet still be unusable with the chosen transport or role; in addition, the path requires that The enabled profile selected for a call must support both the destination and the requested session type.
Related RTC results
The practical separator for this HRESULT is this: it is tied to the condition “the profile contains an invalid server role value or combination”; preserve that producing boundary before choosing recovery; for this HRESULT, compare that boundary with these related RTC values.
RTC_E_PROFILE_MULTIPLE_REGISTRARS | the profile defines more than one registrar server where RTC requires one unambiguous registrar |
|---|---|
RTC_E_NO_TRANSPORT | a server is specified in the profile without a transport protocol RTC can use |
RTC_E_NO_REALM | the profile or authentication context lacks a realm required to select credentials |
The comparison prevents it from being flattened into a subsystem-wide error bucket with unsafe generic remediation.
How to handle the result
Resolve it at its producing layer: replace it with a documented value consistent with the rest of the profile and revalidate from source; after it, a separate UI or watchdog retry must wait until that layer reports a final state.
Do not turn it into an immediate unconditional retry; for this HRESULT, first determine whether the peer could have accepted the prior request and whether RTC still owns a live transaction.
Example for this HRESULT: An automated profile feed emits an unsupported server role value and CreateProfile rejects the document.
Actions that do not address this condition
- The following shortcut is unsafe for this HRESULT: do not log passwords or provisioning secrets from profile XML.
- Another non-solution for this HRESULT is to do not insert placeholder values solely to pass schema validation.
- A wrapper handling it should retain the original HRESULT instead of replacing it with an undifferentiated call failure.
Verification after a fix
Keep two tests: one that intentionally produces “the profile contains an invalid server role value or combination”, and one that applies the narrow correction; for this HRESULT, check the callback sequence, 0x80EE0039, final session/profile state, and absence of leaked listeners, dialogs, streams, or registrations.
