Remarks

This function cannot be called from within a transaction. It will fail with FWP_E_TXN_IN_PROGRESS. See Object Management for more information about transactions.

For a read-only transaction, the caller needs FWPM_ACTRL_BEGIN_READ_TXN access to the filter engine. For a read/write transaction, the caller needs FWPM_ACTRL_BEGIN_WRITE_TXN access to the filter engine. See Access Control for more information.

FwpmTransactionBegin0 is a specific implementation of FwpmTransactionBegin. See WFP Version-Independent Names and Targeting Specific Versions of Windows for more information.
