WDSMCS_E_NAMESPACE_SHUTDOWN_IN_PROGRESS
WDSMCS_E_NAMESPACE_SHUTDOWN_IN_PROGRESS is a Windows Deployment Services (WDS) Multicast Server result. It indicates that the namespace is closing and cannot safely accept the requested operation until its shutdown transition ends.
What to check
- Inspect namespace activity, idle timeout settings, and current shutdown state before retrying.
- Create or join a new active namespace instead of sending work to one that is closing.
- Review client keepalive and scheduling behavior if namespaces are ending sooner than expected.
