RPC_S_UUID_NO_ADDRESS
This status comes from UUID generation, not endpoint resolution
RPC_S_UUID_NO_ADDRESS is associated with the DCE-style UUID creation model that can use a network interface address as part of generating a UUID. The status does not mean an RPC server address is missing and it is unrelated to RPC_S_NO_ENDPOINT_FOUND.
Historically, time-based UUID generation used a node identifier derived from a network address. The RPC runtime may report this status when it cannot obtain a suitable address for that generation path.
What to check
- Confirm which UUID creation API is being called and preserve its exact return status.
- Inspect the local network-interface state and whether the process runs in an unusually restricted or virtualized environment.
- Do not substitute a server IP address or endpoint into the UUID field; object UUIDs and network addresses serve different purposes.
- If the application only needs a unique identifier, use the documented UUID API rather than implementing the DCE node/time algorithm itself.
The diagnostic scope is local UUID creation. Endpoint mapper captures and remote packet traces will not explain why the runtime could not obtain a node address.
