PEER_E_INVALID_CLASSIFIER
The state transition represented by the HRESULT
PEER_E_INVALID_CLASSIFIER — HRESULT 0x80632060 marks the classifier component used for an identity, group or peer name contains an unacceptable format or value. A previously successful call does not guarantee that the later handle, identity, record or network presence is still valid.
Reconstruct the sequence
- Identify the first call among PeerIdentityCreate, group properties and peer-name construction that returned the HRESULT.
- Preserve classifier string, length, encoding, surrounding peer-name form and whether the value came from properties or an invitation.
- Correlate graph, group, PNRP and collaboration events with application cancellation, disconnect, shutdown and sign-out events.
- Run the narrow comparison: replace only the classifier with a short known-valid alphanumeric value and regenerate the peer name through the API.
Interpretation matrix
| Observation | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| No create, open or enumerate call returned the object | The failure is upstream of the group membership described here. |
| A close, delete, disconnect, expiration or sign-out event came first | Investigate an object-lifetime race before malformed network data. |
| The controlled run advances to another HRESULT | The original GMC trust chain was corrected and the new code names the next unmet prerequisite. |
Closest alternative diagnosis
PEER_E_CLASSIFIER_TOO_LONG differs because invalid-classifier is content/syntax; classifier-too-long is specifically a length boundary. The two codes can occur in one workflow, but they do not justify the same remediation.
Correction and proof
Validate classifier syntax before identity/group creation and avoid treating a friendly display name as a classifier. Verify the result by enumerating the expected records, members, connections, endpoints or presence state rather than merely observing that the call stopped failing.
