FWP_E_NEVER_MATCH
FWP_E_NEVER_MATCH means the conditions in an enumeration template or subscription are mutually incompatible, so no WFP object can satisfy them.
What to inspect for FWP_E_NEVER_MATCH
- Look for conflicting conditions on the same field, incompatible object types, or a constraint that excludes all values.
- Test each condition independently, then combine them incrementally.
- Treat this as a query-design error rather than evidence that the engine is missing policy objects.
Diagnostic interpretation
This result has the HRESULT value 0x80320033. AllStat records the condition as “The enumeration template or subscription will never match any objects.”.
Evidence to capture
- Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions this result or the fwp / never / match operation.
- compare the failing machine with a working one at the same configuration boundary: component version, policy, registration, identity, and target resource.
