ERROR_SCOPE_NOT_FOUND

The specified scope does not exist

ERROR_SCOPE_NOT_FOUND means a scoped configuration or security operation referenced a scope that is absent on the current system or service. The exact scope type depends on the calling API.

Investigation

  • Record the scope identifier exactly as supplied.
  • Check case, namespace, tenant, machine, and policy context.
  • Confirm that provisioning completed before the lookup.
  • Determine whether the object was renamed or deleted.

Handling

Refresh configuration from the authoritative source or create the required scope through its normal management path. Avoid silently substituting a broader scope because that can change security behavior.
