NS_E_NAMESPACE_BAD_NAME
Where the condition occurs
This result (0xC00D1396) marks a nonempty namespace node name violates the server naming grammar. The most useful interpretation starts with the Windows Media Services object that returned the HRESULT.
Interpret the retest
| Controlled comparison | Use a known-good object of the same type and vary only the precondition described as “a nonempty namespace node name violates the server naming grammar”. |
A controlled correction
- Capture
0xC00D1396, the symbolic name, the exact API/administrative action and the first failure timestamp. - Preserve exact unescaped name, separators, reserved characters, normalization result and caller that constructed it.
- Perform one isolated experiment: encode external identifiers through a reversible safe-name scheme and retry with one valid component.
Do not merge nearby HRESULT values
Primary distinction: empty name is zero length, while bad name contains characters or structure the namespace cannot accept.
| Nearby result | Different condition |
|---|---|
NS_E_NAMESPACE_WRONG_SECURITY | an existing node is being written with a different security classification. |
NS_E_NAMESPACE_INDEX_TOO_LARGE | child enumeration requested an ordinal outside the current child collection. |
NS_E_NAMESPACE_WRONG_PERSIST | a persistent child is being created beneath a transient parent. |
Changes that do not establish the cause
- changing persistence or security flags; neither repairs illegal name syntax.
