The Win32 Network Management APIs 46

 

 

 

NetSessionEnum() Program Example

 

This function provides information about sessions established on a server. Only members of the Administrators or Server Operators local group can successfully execute the NetSessionEnum() function at level 1 or level 2. No special group membership is required for level 0 or level 10 calls. If you are programming for Active Directory, you may be able to call certain Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI) methods to achieve the same functionality you can achieve by calling the network management session functions.

The following code sample demonstrates how to retrieve information about current sessions using a call to the NetSessionEnum() function. The sample calls NetSessionEnum(), specifying information level 10 (SESSION_INFO_10). The sample loops through the entries and prints the retrieved information. Finally, the code prints the total number of sessions enumerated and frees the memory allocated for the information buffer.

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.

 

#ifndef UNICODE

#define UNICODE
