ERROR_UNDEFINED_SCOPE

The requested central access policy is unavailable

ERROR_UNDEFINED_SCOPE is a Win32 result associated with Windows Dynamic Access Control.

What the result means

The specified Central Access Policy scope is not defined on the target system.

What to check

  • Verify the policy name or identifier delivered by Active Directory.
  • Confirm Group Policy has replicated and applied to the target machine.
  • Check domain connectivity and relevant policy event logs.
  • Compare the target server’s policy state with a known-good peer.

Recommended handling

Restore or deploy the intended policy rather than substituting an arbitrary local rule. Access decisions may otherwise differ from organizational requirements.
