FRS_ERR_INVALID_SERVICE_PARAMETER
The file replication service detected an invalid parameter.
FRS_ERR_INVALID_SERVICE_PARAMETER is Win32 error 8017 (0x00001F51) and concerns a parameter supplied to the legacy File Replication Service.
What to verify
Verify whether the parameter type, range, identifier, and replica-set context satisfy the FRS API contract. Check API name and complete sanitized parameters, expected type and range, and replica-set/member identifiers.
Likely causes
- an identifier is malformed or unknown.
- a numeric value is out of range.
- a parameter belongs to another replica set.
- a null or stale context was supplied.
Troubleshooting steps
- Collect API name and complete sanitized parameters.
- Record expected type and range.
- Correlate replica-set/member identifiers with the File Replication Service event log, Service Control Manager, Directory Service and Netlogon events, RPC diagnostics, and replica-set state.
Handling, retry, and recovery
Correct the caller input from current FRS state and retry from a validated context; service restarts do not repair an invalid parameter.
Related errors
FRS_ERR_INVALID_API_SEQUENCE concerns call ordering rather than the value of an individual parameter
Example
A tool sends a member GUID copied from another replica set. Re-enumerating the target set and using its current GUID resolves the request.
