NetUserSetInfo() Program Example

 

The NetUserSetInfo() function sets the parameters of a user account. The following code sample demonstrates how to disable a user account with a call to the NetUserSetInfo() function. The code sample fills in the usri1008_flags member of the USER_INFO_1008 structure, specifying the value UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE. Then the sample calls NetUserSetInfo(), specifying information level 0.

Create a new empty Win32 console application project. Give the project name and change the project location is needed.

 

 

Then, add the source file and give it a suitable name.

 

 

Then, add the following source code.

 

/* Unicode setting if needed

#ifndef UNICODE

#define UNICODE

#endif

*/

 

// Include the following library when linking

#pragma comment(lib, netapi32.lib)

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <windows.h>

#include <lm.h>

 

int wmain(int argc, wchar_t *argv[])

{

   DWORD dwLevel = 1008;

   USER_INFO_1008 ui;

   NET_API_STATUS nStatus;

 

   if (argc != 3)

   {

      fwprintf_s(stderr, LUsage: %s \\\\ServerName UserName\n, argv[0]);

      wprintf(LExample: %s \\\\UntaGedik Jbones\n, argv[0]);

      exit(1);

   }

 

   // Fill in the USER_INFO_1008 structure member.

   // UF_SCRIPT: required.

   ui.usri1008_flags = UF_SCRIPT | UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE;

 

   // Call the NetUserSetInfo function

   //  to disable the account, specifying level 1008.

   nStatus = NetUserSetInfo(argv[1], argv[2], dwLevel, (LPBYTE)&ui, NULL);

 

   // Display the result of the call.

   if (nStatus == NERR_Success)

   {

         wprintf(LNetUserSetInfo() is OK!\n);

         fwprintf_s(stderr, LUser account %s has been disabled!\n, argv[2]);

   }

   else

   {

         wprintf(LNetUserSetInfo() failed!\n);

         fwprintf_s(stderr, LA system error has occurred, error %d\n, nStatus);

   }

   return 0;

}

 

Build and run the project. The following screenshot is a sample output.
