The following are additional run-time codes that may be returned by the Firewall service and may appear as result codes in Forefront TMG logs.

Symbolic name Hexidecimal ID Description
WSA_RWS_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN or FWX_E_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN 0x80074E20 A connection was gracefully closed in an orderly shutdown process with a three-way FIN-initiated handshake.
WSA_RWS_ABORTIVE_SHUTDOWN or FWX_E_ABORTIVE_SHUTDOWN 0x80074E21 A connection was abortively closed after one of the peers sent an RST packet.
WSA_RWS_QUOTA or FWX_E_RULE_QUOTA_EXCEEDED_DROPPED 0x80074E23 A connection was rejected because the connection limit specifying the maximum number of connections that can be created for a rule during one second was exceeded.
WSA_RWS_CONNECTION_KILLED or FWX_E_CONNECTION_KILLED 0x80074E24 Forefront TMG closed an established connection before either peer requested to close it. This typically occurs when an application filter detects a protocol violation, such as a malformed HTTP request.
WSA_RWS_TIMEOUT or FWX_E_TIMEOUT 0x80074E25 A connection was terminated because it was idle for more than the time-out period, or the time-out on an incompleted action expired.
WSA_RWS_ADMIN_TERMINATE or FWX_E_ADMIN_TERMINATE 0x80074E26 A connetion was terminated from Forefront TMG Management, during shutdown, or when a VPN client was disconnected.
