NetWkstaGetInfo() Program Example

 

The NetWkstaGetInfo() function returns information about the configuration of a workstation. The following code sample demonstrates how to retrieve information about the configuration elements for a workstation using a call to the NetWkstaGetInfo() function. The sample calls NetWkstaGetInfo(), specifying information level 102 (WKSTA_INFO_102). If the call succeeds, the sample prints information about the workstation. Finally, the code 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 = 102;

   LPWKSTA_INFO_102 pBuf = NULL;

   NET_API_STATUS nStatus;

   LPWSTR pszServerName = NULL;

 

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

   wprintf(LIf the server name not supplied, default to local computer\n\n);

 

   // Check command line arguments.

   if (argc > 2)

   {

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

      exit(1);

   }

 

   // The server is not the default local computer.

   if (argc == 2)

      pszServerName = argv[1];

 

   // Call the NetWkstaGetInfo function, specifying level 102.

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

 

   // If the call is successful, print the workstation data.

   if (nStatus == NERR_Success)

   {

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

      wprintf(L\n\tPlatform: %d\n, pBuf->wki102_platform_id);

      wprintf(L\tName:     %s\n, pBuf->wki102_computername);

      wprintf(L\tVersion:  %d.%d\n, pBuf->wki102_ver_major, pBuf->wki102_ver_minor);

      wprintf(L\tDomain:   %s\n, pBuf->wki102_langroup);

      wprintf(L\tLan Root: %s\n, pBuf->wki102_lanroot);

      wprintf(L\t# Logged On Users: %d\n, pBuf->wki102_logged_on_users);

   }

 

   // Otherwise, indicate the system error.

   else

   {

        wprintf(LNetWkstaGetInfo() 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.
