STATUS_INVALID_CAP

The Central Access Policy data failed validation

STATUS_INVALID_CAP identifies a specific Windows status in the job, task, callback, or isolation path. The policy obtained from Active Directory is present but structurally or semantically invalid for the target system. Applying it partially could produce inconsistent authorization.

Validate policy rules, referenced claims and resource properties, then correct the directory policy and refresh it through supported policy mechanisms.

What to preserve before changing the system

  • The exact API, caller, target object, original NTSTATUS value, and any nested error or activity ID.
  • For STATUS_INVALID_CAP, the relevant process token, package/job/enclave identity, lifecycle state, and policy or mitigation settings.
  • For STATUS_INVALID_CAP, operational event logs and a timeline showing the first transition into the failing state.
