STATUS_INVALID_DOMAIN_STATE
STATUS_INVALID_DOMAIN_STATE meaning
STATUS_INVALID_DOMAIN_STATE has value 0xC00000DD. The requested domain operation is not valid in the domain state observed by the caller. The code does not identify the operation itself, so promotion, demotion, trust, replication, role, or directory-service context must be taken from the failing API and logs.
Evidence to collect
Record the exact API or administration command, target domain and controller, local and remote roles, directory-service state, replication health, trust direction, FSMO ownership where relevant, and the first directory-service event accompanying the status.
- Preserve the exact API or command that returned this result, the caller identity, target object, complete numeric status, and the first component log that records the failure.
- Compare the failing request with a working request for it at the same subsystem boundary before applying destructive configuration changes.
Recovery and retry
Restore the prerequisite domain state documented by the operation before retrying. Do not force metadata or role changes based only on this symbolic code; use replication and directory-service evidence to select the supported recovery workflow.
