Hi Andrew, Just to be clear, are you referring to this behavior note for section 3.5.4.4.10 NetrLogonGetCapabilities (Opnum 21)?:
<197> Section 3.5.4.4.10: Windows RPC layer may return its own error code instead of STATUS_INVALID_LEVEL. The error code that a client gets depends on where the calling application is getting the error from: 1. If the client is running on Windows and calling Windows RPC APIs, they may get the Win32 error code RPC_S_INVALID_TAG ([MS-ERREF] section 2.2). 2. If the client is running on third-party operating systems or getting the error code from the wire, they may get nca_s_fault_invalid_tag (0x1C000006). ([C706-RSCP]). 3. The conversion between the on-the-wire nca_s_fault_invalid_tag and Win32 error code RPC_S_INVALID_TAG is specified in [MS-RPCE] section 3.1.1.5.5. Since the original question cited section 3.1.4.1 Session-Key Negotiation, I gather you're asking how the Client should proceed if an error is returned from NetrLogonGetCapabilities in Session-Key Negotiation steps 11 and/or 14, and if the behavior is different based on the different possible errors returned. 3.1.4.1 Session-Key Negotiation Session-key negotiation between a client and a server is performed over an unprotected RPC channel. The following diagram illustrates the negotiation flow. [...] 11. The client calls the NetrLogonGetCapabilities method to get Negotiaged flags by setting QueryLevel to 1 (section 3.4.5.2.10). 12. The server SHOULD<72> return the negotiated flags for the current exchange. 13. The client SHOULD<73> compare the received ServerCapabilities (section 3.5.4.4.10) with the negotiated NegotiateFlags (section 3.5.4.4.2), and if there is a difference, the session key negotiation is aborted. 14. The client calls the NetrLogonGetCapabilities method to get Requested flags by setting QueryLevel to 2 (section 3.4.5.2.10). 15. The server SHOULD<74> return the client capabilities received during a negotiation request from client. Since returning the results is stated as SHOULD, my initial assumption is that if an error is returned, the client simply does not return results.

If the correct fault (mapped to an error code) is received by the client, due to noticing an older unpatched server (or Samba), what is the secure and correct behaviour?
