ERROR_UNDEFINED_SCOPE
The requested central access policy is unavailable
ERROR_UNDEFINED_SCOPE is a Win32 result associated with Windows Dynamic Access Control.
What the result means
The specified Central Access Policy scope is not defined on the target system.
What to check
- Verify the policy name or identifier delivered by Active Directory.
- Confirm Group Policy has replicated and applied to the target machine.
- Check domain connectivity and relevant policy event logs.
- Compare the target server’s policy state with a known-good peer.
Recommended handling
Restore or deploy the intended policy rather than substituting an arbitrary local rule. Access decisions may otherwise differ from organizational requirements.
