RPC_NT_NO_ENTRY_NAME

The binding handle has no name service entry name

Name-service operations need an entry name that identifies where interface UUIDs, object UUIDs, and binding handles are exported. This status means the binding or lookup context does not carry such an entry name.

A binding string can still contain a protocol sequence and endpoint while lacking a name-service entry. Diagnose the name-service export/import path separately from endpoint reachability.

What to inspect

Record the name syntax and entry name passed to the RPC name-service call.
Check whether the caller used a direct string binding where a name-service entry was expected.
Verify that export and lookup use the same naming convention.
