  • Microsoft .NET Alerts
This article was previously published under Q323052

SYMPTOMS

.NET Alerts code may result in an E_DELIVER_FAILED error (0x81FD01F4).

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of several possible errors that are generated by a server that is running .NET Alerts. The error is then grouped into a generic E_DELIVER_FAILED error.

MORE INFORMATION

To determine the cause of the error, follow these steps:
  1. Run a Network Monitor trace of the response from the server that is running .NET Alerts.
  2. View the STATUS element in the response to see the number for the specific error code.
The most common values are as follows:
  • 400: A required property of the alert is not present, or the values are missing or not valid.
  • 500: Server busy.
  • 599: Unauthorized SiteID. Make sure that you have run the Installsdkkey.exe file that is provided when you are provisioned in the test cloud. Additionally, make sure that you have specified NULL string for the SiteID property of the MsnNotification object and the username and the password arguments of the SendNotification call.
  • 600: Internal error. Problem with the server that is running .NET Alerts on the Microsoft side.
  • 700: Capacity limit exceeded. There is an alerts-per-second limit for every partner on the production clouds. If a partner sends more alerts per second than the capacity allocates, the alert is not delivered, and an error is returned.
