The following return values are common to all WMI provider methods.

Return code/value	Description
call-failure	An unexpected error occurred. Check the event log for more information.
connection-failure	This error is returned when you have successfully obtained a WMI object, but either the service has been stopped or your security identity has been removed from the security group(s) that have rights to use the WMI interface (administrators, operators, password set, and browse).

call-failure

An unexpected error occurred.

Check the event log for more information.

connection-failure

This error is returned when you have successfully obtained a WMI object, but either the service has been stopped or your security identity has been removed from the security group(s) that have rights to use the WMI interface (administrators, operators, password set, and browse).

The following return values are common to the following methods, properties, and XML elements:

MIIS_ManagementAgent.Execute method
MIIS_ManagementAgent.RunStatus property
MIIS_RunHistory.RunStatus property
< step-result > element of the < run-history > XML string

Return code/value	Description
completed-discovery-errors	The full import run step stopped and the data was not obsoleted because of discovery errors between the connected directory and the connector space. The next step in the run profile will not run and data will not be obsoleted. If an import run step returned this value, the processing of retries and cleanup of placeholder objects will not be performed. If this string is the value for the MIIS_ManagementAgent.RunStatus property, then no run step is currently running but a run step has been run in the past.
completed-export-errors	The run step completed with export errors. The next step in the run profile will run. If this string is the value for the MIIS_ManagementAgent.RunStatus property, then no run step is currently running but a run step has been run in the past.
completed-no-objects	The full import run step found nothing to import.

If this string is the value for the MIIS_ManagementAgent.RunStatus property, then no run step is currently running but a run step has been run in the past.
completed-transient-objects	The run step completed with objects in the connector space in a transient state. For more information about the transient state, see "The metaverse and the connector space" in the ILM 2007 FP1 Help. The next step in the run profile will run and data will be obsoleted. If this string is the value for the MIIS_ManagementAgent.RunStatus property, then no run step is currently running but a run step has been run in the past.
completed-warnings	The run step completed with synchronization warnings. The next step in the run profile will run and data will be obsoleted. If this string is the value for the MIIS_ManagementAgent.RunStatus property, then no run step is currently running but a run step has been run in the past.
completing-obsoletion	The system is in the process of marking objects in the connector space that no longer exist in the connected data source as obsolete. You can see how complete by the value of in-progress.
completing-referential-updates	The system is in the process of completing its referential updates. You can see how complete by the value of in-progress.
connection-failure	The server is not running or your credentials were removed from the security groups. Check that the credentials used is a member of a ILM 2007 FP1 security group. The method can return this string after you obtain the WMI provider object.
in-progress	Indicates the percentage of completion for processes that are not yet complete.
no-start-bad-ma-configuration	The run step failed to start because the management agent configuration is corrupt. The next step in the run profile will not run and data will not be obsoleted.
