RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexportW function (rpcnsi.h)

  • Article

The RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport function removes multiple binding handles and objects from an entry in the name-service database.

Note  This function is not supported on Windows Vista and later operating systems.
 

Syntax

RPC_STATUS RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexportW(
  unsigned long EntryNameSyntax,
  RPC_WSTR      EntryName,
  RPC_IF_ID     *IfId,
  unsigned long VersOption,
  UUID_VECTOR   *ObjectUuidVec
);

Parameters

EntryNameSyntax

Syntax of EntryName.

To use the syntax specified in the registry value entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\NameService\DefaultSyntax, provide a value of RPC_C_NS_SYNTAX_DEFAULT.

EntryName

Pointer to the name of the entry from which to remove binding handles and object UUIDs.

IfId

Pointer to an interface identification. A null parameter value indicates that binding handles are not to be unexported—only object UUIDs are to be unexported.

VersOption

Specifies how the RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport function uses the VersMajor and VersMinor members of the structure pointed to by the IfId parameter.

The following table describes valid values for the VersOption parameter.

VersOption values Meaning
RPC_C_VERS_ALL
 Unexports all bindings for the interface UUID in IfId, regardless of the version numbers. For this value, specify 0 for both the major and minor versions in IfId.
RPC_C_VERS_IF_ID
 Unexports the bindings for the compatible interface UUID in IfId with the same major version and with a minor version greater than or equal to the minor version in IfId.
RPC_C_VERS_EXACT
 Unexports the bindings for the interface UUID in IfId with the same major and minor versions as in IfId.
RPC_C_VERS_MAJOR_ONLY
 Unexports the bindings for the interface UUID in IfId with the same major version as in IfId (ignores the minor version). For this value, specify 0 for the minor version in IfId.
RPC_C_VERS_UPTO
 Unexports the bindings that offer a version of the specified interface UUID less than or equal to the specified major and minor version. (For example, if the IfId contained V2.0 and the name service–database entry contained binding handles with the versions 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1, the RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport function would unexport the binding handles with versions 1.3 and 2.0.)

ObjectUuidVec

Pointer to a vector of object UUIDs that the server no longer wants to offer. The application constructs this vector. A null value indicates there are no object UUIDs to unexport—only binding handles are to be unexported.

Return value

Value Meaning
RPC_S_OK
 The call succeeded.
RPC_S_INVALID_VERS_OPTION
 The version option is invalid.
RPC_S_INVALID_NAME_SYNTAX
 The name syntax is invalid.
RPC_S_UNSUPPORTED_NAME_SYNTAX
 The name syntax is not supported.
RPC_S_INCOMPLETE_NAME
 The name is incomplete.
RPC_S_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND
 The name-service entry was not found.
RPC_S_NAME_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
 The name service is unavailable.
RPC_S_INTERFACE_NOT_FOUND
 The interface was not found.
RPC_S_NOT_ALL_OBJS_UNEXPORTED
 Not all objects unexported.
 
Note  For a list of valid error codes, see RPC Return Values.
 

Remarks

The RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport function allows a management application to remove one of the following from a name service–database entry:

  • All the binding handles for a specified interface UUID, qualified by the interface version numbers (major and minor)
  • One or more object UUIDs of resources
  • Both binding handles and object UUIDs of resources
A management application can unexport interfaces and objects in a single call to RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport, or it can unexport them separately. If RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport does not find any binding handles for the specified interface, the function returns an RPC_S_INTERFACE_NOT_FOUND status code and does not unexport the object UUIDs, if any were specified.

If one or more binding handles for the specified interface are found and unexported without error, RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport unexports any specified object UUIDs. If any of the specified object UUIDs were not found, RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport returns RPC_S_NOT_ALL_OBJS_UNEXPORTED.

In addition to calling RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport, a management application should also call the RpcMgmtEpUnregister function to unregister the servers that have registered with the endpoint-map database.

Note  Name-service databases are designed to be relatively stable. In replicated name services, frequent use of the RpcNsBindingExport and RpcNsBindingUnexport functions causes the name service to repeatedly remove and replace the same entry, which can cause performance problems.
 

Note

The rpcnsi.h header defines RpcNsMgmtBindingUnexport as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
