Diagnostic interpretation

This result has the HRESULT value 0xC03A0029. AllStat records the condition as “The specified change tracking identifier is not valid.”.

Evidence to capture

Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions this result or the vhd / change / tracking / id operation.
Preserve the first failure in the call chain; a later HRESULT can describe cleanup rather than the original vhd / change / tracking / id condition.

Retry and recovery

Do not retry an unchanged request after ERROR_VHD_INVALID_CHANGE_TRACKING_ID. Change the confirmed precondition first, then rerun the original path and record the next result and final object state.
