NetServerGetInfo() Program Example

 

The NetServerGetInfo() function retrieves current configuration information for the specified server. The following code sample demonstrates how to retrieve current configuration information for a server using a call to the NetServerGetInfo() function. The sample calls NetServerGetInfo(), specifying information level 101 (SERVER_INFO_101). If the call succeeds, the code attempts to identify the type of server. Finally, the sample 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

#endif

 

#pragma comment(lib, netapi32.lib)

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <windows.h>

#include <lm.h>

 

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

{

   DWORD dwLevel = 101;

   LPSERVER_INFO_101 pBuf = NULL;

   NET_API_STATUS nStatus;

   LPTSTR pszServerName = NULL;

 

   if (argc != 2)

   {

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

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

      exit(1);

   }

 

   // The server is not the default local computer.

   if (argc == 2)

      pszServerName = (LPTSTR) argv[1];

   // Call the NetServerGetInfo() function, specifying level 101.

   nStatus = NetServerGetInfo(pszServerName,dwLevel,(LPBYTE *)&pBuf);

 

   // If the call succeeds,

   if (nStatus == NERR_Success)

   {

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

      // Check for the type of server.

      if ((pBuf->sv101_type & SV_TYPE_DOMAIN_CTRL) ||  (pBuf->sv101_type & SV_TYPE_DOMAIN_BAKCTRL) || (pBuf->sv101_type & SV_TYPE_SERVER_NT))            

         wprintf(LThis is a server\n);

      else

         wprintf(LThis is a workstation\n);

   }

   // Otherwise, print the system error.

   else

   {

         wprintf(LNetServerGetInfo() failed!\n);

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

   }

  

   // Free the allocated memory.

   if (pBuf != NULL)

      NetApiBufferFree(pBuf);

 

   return 0;

}

 

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