STATUS_CONTAINER_ASSIGNED

The job already owns a container assignment

STATUS_CONTAINER_ASSIGNED identifies a specific Windows status in the job, task, callback, or isolation path. A second container or silo assignment was attempted for a job that already has one. Container identity is part of the job hierarchy and cannot be casually replaced in place.

Query the existing job/silo relationship, creation order and process membership. Create a new job hierarchy when a different container is required.

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_CONTAINER_ASSIGNED, the relevant process token, package/job/enclave identity, lifecycle state, and policy or mitigation settings.
  • For STATUS_CONTAINER_ASSIGNED, operational event logs and a timeline showing the first transition into the failing state.
