NetUserGetInfo returns 1008 (GetLastError)

gbabu17

Hi, I am developing a dll which uses NetUserGetInfo to retreive the home directory of a Domain user. NetUserGetInfo returns 1008 error code. my usage of function: NetUserGetInfo(Domain-server,domain-user,11,buf) The problem i was thinking was, The dll is launched by a local user(admin privilages) on a system which is in the same domain. SO may be the local user does not have enough permissions to use the NetUserGetInfo function to retreive the necessary information. My questions: 1. Is it possible to provide enough permissions for the local-user, How? 2. The other alternate is to connect to domain-server with some power user and then use the NetUserGetInfo function. But I do not find suitable function to connect to domain server with a power user credentials in windows network management API(netapi32.lib) Thanks for the help

Which is ERROR_NO_TOKEN. What are Domain-server, domain-user, and buf? Do you have UNICODE and _UNICODE defined?

they are passed to the function correctly, because i am printing them just before passing to the NetUserGetInfo.

But are they wchar_t or TCHAR types?

They are wchar_t types. i think it is something related to permissions(may be ACL) but i cannot figure it out. thanks
