RPC_NT_ENTRY_ALREADY_EXISTS

The export attempted to create an existing RPC entry

This status indicates a name-service collision, not necessarily a duplicate endpoint. The entry name already exists in the name service database when the caller expected to create a new one.

Decide whether the server should append interface/binding information to the existing entry, replace it, or use a service-instance-specific name.

What to inspect

  • Inspect the existing entry before overwriting it.
  • Use a deterministic naming scheme for multiple service instances.
  • Avoid deleting a shared entry that may contain other interfaces or objects.
