Return value
This method can return standard HRESULT values, such as E_OUTOFMEMORY, and VDS-specific return values. It can also return converted system error codes using the HRESULT_FROM_WIN32 macro. Errors can originate from VDS itself or from the underlying VDS provider that is being used. Possible return values include the following.
| Return code/value | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method completed successfully. |
|
VDS failed to initialize. If an application calls this method before the service finishes initializing, the method is blocked until the initialization completes. If the initialization fails, this error is returned. |
Remarks
This method displays the following message to the user:
"Virtual Disk Service: Operation requires that the computer be restarted."
VDS prompts the user to save their current work and exit before the system shuts down. Reboot does not force an application in operation to close.
