STATUS_TPM_DELEGATE_ADMIN

STATUS_TPM_DELEGATE_ADMIN is a Windows NTSTATUS value in the TPM facility. For STATUS_TPM_DELEGATE_ADMIN, it belongs to the TPM 1.2 error family and is normally surfaced through the Windows TPM stack, such as TPM Base Services, rather than by ordinary file, registry or network APIs.

This status means the caller attempted a delegation-table management operation while the TPM state does not enable that administration path. The TPM is rejecting the administrative mode rather than a particular delegated command.

It is most useful to diagnose during provisioning and owner-management code. Application code using an already-created delegated credential may be far away from the configuration step that failed to enable table management.

Diagnostic focus

  • Trace owner initialization and delegation-table setup before delegated credentials are issued.
  • Do not retry application-level delegated commands until delegation administration has been corrected.
  • Distinguish this from STATUS_TPM_DELEGATE_LOCK, where administration exists but is locked.
