SPAPI_E_REMOTE_REQUEST_UNSUPPORTED
SPAPI_E_REMOTE_REQUEST_UNSUPPORTED (0x800F023B) is a Windows SetupAPI driver-installation error. This code means the operation itself is local-only even though SetupAPI can address another computer for some tasks. Changing credentials or connectivity will not make an unsupported remote operation work.
What to check
- Run the operation in an elevated session on the target computer.
- Use supported remote-management tooling for inventory or deployment, then perform local PnP work where required.
- Check the documentation for the specific SetupAPI or PnPUtil action before retrying remotely.
