RPC_NT_SS_CHAR_TRANS_OPEN_FAIL
RPC character-translation table could not be opened
RPC_NT_SS_CHAR_TRANS_OPEN_FAIL is a stub-side status. It is associated with the DCE/RPC character-translation table path used by the generated stub support code, not with the endpoint mapper or network transport.
The key clue is DCERPCCHARTRANS. If an environment or compatibility layer points the runtime at a character-translation table file, the file must be present and readable before the stub can perform the translation work expected for the call.
What to check
- Check the
DCERPCCHARTRANSsetting in the failing process environment or service account context. - Verify the table file path, access rights, and whether the process sees the same filesystem namespace as an interactive test.
- Do not troubleshoot server endpoint registration until the local stub can open the translation table.
