NS_E_WMDM_REVOKED
The state behind the HRESULT
NS_E_WMDM_REVOKED belongs to the point where the portable-device DRM component or certificate appears on a revocation list. The subsystem producing this result is protected-content transfer to portable devices, not the media decoder; it performs Windows Media Player and Windows Media Device Manager coordination between the application, secure content provider and device service provider during protected-file synchronization.
Use the failing operation itself to record device certificate identity, firmware and CRL/security-update version.
Build a useful incident record
Do not separate this result from its owning state: portable-device identity, WMDM secure channel, transfer certificate, device DRM capability flags, secure clock, content license and transfer transaction. The diagnostic record for it is device firmware and provider identity, WMDM capability/status flags, secure-channel authentication result, license rights for sync and the transfer-completion status.
The producing layer has not made a claim about every media operation; it has only established that the portable-device DRM component or certificate appears on a revocation list.
Interpretation limits
The established fact is that the portable-device DRM component or certificate appears on a revocation list. That fact does not independently establish damaged media bytes, a missing decoder, a generally broken network, or invalid rights for every other action.
If the Player, encoder, setup program or device layer later emits a broader error, retain this result as the first specific result. The object and operation attached to it are usually more diagnostic than a later cleanup or user-interface summary.
Reconstruct the decision
When documenting it, state the rejected input and the expected successor state. The rejected input is demonstrated when you record device certificate identity, firmware and CRL/security-update version; the successor becomes reachable after you install the manufacturer’s approved firmware/security update or replace the revoked component. The result model is suitable for a regression fixture because its expected state change is observable without weakening the DRM policy.
State table
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Temporal state | trusted/system time, validity interval, request sequence and retry number when they influence it |
| Lower result | the earliest store, network, cryptographic, driver or provider status preceding the final it wrapper |
| Owner | operation, API/callback, object or session identifier, and component/device version associated with it |
| Direct check | record device certificate identity, firmware and CRL/security-update version |
| Policy input | requested action plus the exact license, certificate, profile, output or registration property evaluated by it |
Focused verification
- Preserve it and
0xC00D10BCbefore cleanup, fallback or another media item changes the context. - Associate it with its current protected-content transfer to portable devices object and the requested action.
- Run the direct check for it: record device certificate identity, firmware and CRL/security-update version.
- Compare the failure with a known-good case that changes only the property named by this condition: the portable-device DRM component or certificate appears on a revocation list.
- Apply the narrow correction for it: install the manufacturer’s approved firmware/security update or replace the revoked component.
- Repeat the same action with the same content/device identity and verify that it is not replaced by another policy or trust failure.
Neighboring security decisions
| Result | Why it points elsewhere |
|---|---|
NS_E_PDA_NO_TRANSCODE_OF_DRM | sync would require transcoding, but protected content cannot be converted through that ordinary path |
NS_E_WMP_WMDM_FAILURE | the Player received a nonspecific failure from the portable-device management layer |
NS_E_WMP_WMDM_INTERFACEDEAD | the WMDM interface became unusable because the device or provider disappeared |
Repair criterion
Recovery should change the failed precondition by choosing to install the manufacturer’s approved firmware/security update or replace the revoked component. Success means that the same requested action is accepted after that precise state change, not merely that another file or device happens to work.
- While investigating it, keep this restriction: Do not convert or copy the protected file outside the secure transfer path as a diagnostic shortcut; that tests a different rights model and may consume or invalidate evidence.
- Do not alter trusted time, revocation enforcement, certificate validation or output policy merely to suppress it; that bypasses the decision instead of correcting its input.
- Retain one failing artifact and one corrected artifact so the resolution of it can be regression-tested.
Acceptance condition
For the final it test, keep the content KID or file hash, requested action, user/account, device identity and output route unchanged wherever they apply.
