RPC_NT_CANT_CREATE_ENDPOINT

RPC_NT_CANT_CREATE_ENDPOINT is an NTSTATUS value used by the Windows RPC runtime. This status is returned when the server runtime cannot create the endpoint required for a registered protocol sequence. It is later than endpoint-format validation: the endpoint representation can be valid, but the runtime or underlying transport cannot create the endpoint instance.

It differs from RPC_NT_INVALID_ENDPOINT_FORMAT, which is a syntax problem, and from RPC_NT_DUPLICATE_ENDPOINT, which identifies a conflicting existing endpoint. The appropriate evidence is the attempted protocol-sequence/endpoint pair and the underlying resource or permission failure.

A server endpoint could not be created after transport selection

  • Record the protocol sequence, endpoint, service account and return value from the sequence-registration call.
  • Inspect address/pipe ownership, endpoint conflicts and runtime resource limits without changing the endpoint string blindly.
  • Verify that the chosen endpoint is allowed for the transport and security model used by the server.
