NdfCreateInboundIncident function (ndfapi.h)

The NdfCreateInboundIncident function creates a session to diagnose inbound connectivity for a specific application or service.

Syntax

void NdfCreateInboundIncident(
  [in, optional] LPCWSTR                applicationID,
  [in, optional] LPCWSTR                serviceID,
  [in, optional] SID                    *userID,
  [in, optional] const SOCKADDR_STORAGE *localTarget,
                 IPPROTO                protocol,
                 DWORD                  dwFlags,
  [out]          NDFHANDLE              *handle
);

Parameters

[in, optional] applicationID

Type: LPCWSTR

The fully qualified path to the application receiving the inbound traffic.

[in, optional] serviceID

Type: LPCWSTR

dll,-28502 (File/Print Sharing)

dll,-28752 (Remote Desktop)

dll,-32752 (Network Discovery)

[in, optional] userID

Type: SID*

The SID for the application receiving the traffic. If NULL, the caller's SID is automatically used.

[in, optional] localTarget

Type: const SOCKADDR_STORAGE

A SOCKADDR_STORAGE structure which limits the diagnosis to traffic to a specific IP address. If NULL, all traffic will be included in the diagnosis.

protocol

Type: IPPROTO

The protocol which should be diagnosed. For example, IPPROTO_TCP would be used to indicate the TCP/IP protocol.

dwFlags

Type: DWORD

Possible values:

NDF_INBOUND_FLAG_EDGETRAVERSAL

Indicates that a configuration should be considered unhealthy if both gateways on the local network are within the private access range, rather than only considering the configuration to be healthy if both gateways are Internet Gateway Devices (IGDs).

NDF_INBOUND_FLAG_HEALTHCHECK

Ends the session immediately if no inbound traffic problems are diagnosed, instead of turning on detailed tracing and allowing the user to reproduce their problem for a second diagnosis.

[out] handle

Type: NDFHANDLE*

Pointer to a handle to the Network Diagnostics Framework incident.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

Possible return values include, but are not limited to, the following.

Return code	Description
S_OK	The operation succeeded.
E_INVALIDARG	One or more parameters has not been provided correctly.

Remarks

Either applicationID or serviceID must be specified, but not both.
