[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, this function has been deprecated. Please use CM_Set_DevNode_Problem instead.]

The CM_Set_DevNode_Problem_Ex function sets a problem code for a device that is installed in a local or a remote machine.

Syntax

CMAPI CONFIGRET CM_Set_DevNode_Problem_Ex(
  [in]           DEVINST  dnDevInst,
  [in]           ULONG    ulProblem,
  [in]           ULONG    ulFlags,
  [in, optional] HMACHINE hMachine
);

Parameters

[in] dnDevInst

Caller-supplied device instance handle that is bound to the machine handle supplied by hMachine.

[in] ulProblem

Supplies a problem code, which is zero or one of the CM_PROB_Xxx flags that are described in Device Manager Error Messages. A value of zero indicates that a problem code is not set for the device.

[in] ulFlags

Must be set to zero.

[in, optional] hMachine

Caller-supplied machine handle to which the caller-supplied device instance handle is bound.

Note  Using this function to access remote machines is not supported beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, as this functionality has been removed.
 

Return value
