RPC_NT_SS_CHAR_TRANS_SHORT_FILE

RPC character-translation table is incomplete

RPC_NT_SS_CHAR_TRANS_SHORT_FILE is returned before normal call semantics matter: the generated RPC stub support code opened the translation table but found that the file is not large enough to contain the expected character-map data.

This is usually a packaging, deployment, or environment problem. Recreating the binding or changing the endpoint does not fix a table file that is truncated, substituted, or read through the wrong path.

What to check

Check file size and content of the path named by DCERPCCHARTRANS; a zero-byte or truncated file is enough to reproduce the failure.
Verify that the service account and the interactive account do not resolve the environment variable to different files.
Replace the table from a known-good deployment rather than editing endpoint or authentication settings.
