ERROR_DS_NTDSCRIPT_PROCESS_ERROR
The Directory Service cannot process the script because of an error.
ERROR_DS_NTDSCRIPT_PROCESS_ERROR is Windows status 8592 (0x00002190) associated with execution of a syntactically accepted NTDS script.
Likely impact: Partial effects are possible and must be inventoried before any retry.
Typical causes
- a command fails after parsing.
- an object or attribute prerequisite is absent.
- authorization changes during execution.
- a prior command leaves state incompatible with the next.
Troubleshooting steps
- Verify that the parsed script can complete each directory operation in the current server state.
- Collect script command index and objects changed before failure.
Useful evidence
- Collect transaction or rollback behavior.
- Collect server and database state.
Recovery and retry
Identify the first failing command, verify whether earlier commands committed, repair its prerequisite, and resume only with an idempotent plan.

Example
A script creates one object and then fails while setting a protected attribute. The operator records the partial object and makes the rerun detect it instead of creating a duplicate.
