NetWkstaUserGetInfo() Program Example

 

The NetWkstaUserGetInfo() function returns information about the currently logged-on user. This function must be called in the context of the logged-on user. The following code sample demonstrates how to retrieve information about the currently logged-on user using a call to the NetWkstaUserGetInfo() function. The sample calls NetWkstaUserGetInfo(), specifying information level 1 (WKSTA_USER_INFO_1). If the call succeeds, the sample prints information about the logged-on user. Finally, the sample frees the memory allocated for the information buffer. The NetWkstaUserGetInfo() function only works locally.

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*/

 

#pragma comment(lib, netapi32.lib)

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <windows.h>

#include <lm.h>

 

int wmain(void)

{

   DWORD dwLevel = 1;

   LPWKSTA_USER_INFO_1 pBuf = NULL;

   NET_API_STATUS nStatus;

 

   // Call the NetWkstaUserGetInfo() function;

   //  specify level 1.

   nStatus = NetWkstaUserGetInfo(NULL,dwLevel,(LPBYTE *)&pBuf);

 

   // If the call succeeds, print the information about the logged-on user.

   if (nStatus == NERR_Success)

   {

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

 

      if (pBuf != NULL)

      {

         wprintf(L\n\tUser:          %s\n, pBuf->wkui1_username);

         wprintf(L\tDomain:        %s\n, pBuf->wkui1_logon_domain);

         wprintf(L\tOther Domains: %s\n, pBuf->wkui1_oth_domains);

         wprintf(L\tLogon Server:  %s\n, pBuf->wkui1_logon_server);

      }

   }

   // Otherwise, print the system error.

   else

      fwprintf_s(stderr, LNetWkstaUserGetInfo() failed! System error %d has occurred\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.
