How to use this API to get the info of remote machines? Here is my sample code.. I am getting a memory error . Can anyone suggest me where i went wrong. Is there any other way to pass the first argument(machine name) to the API? //////////////////// //getting details of machines wchar_t *tmp4=(wchar_t *)malloc(sizeof( wchar_t )); strcat(mbstr2,tempname[snum]); mbstr2[strlen(mbstr2)]='\0'; size_t x=strlen(mbstr2); mbstowcs(tmp4,mbstr2,x); WKSTA_INFO_101 *level=NULL; LPTSTR tmp7=(LPTSTR)tmp4; NET_API_STATUS nwData=NetWkstaGetInfo(tmp7,101,(LPBYTE*)&level); if(nwData==NERR_Success) { int iLen3=wcslen ((unsigned short *)level->wki101_computername); for(int j=0;jwki101_computername); level->wki101_computername++; level->wki101_computername++; } name[j]='\0'; AfxMessageBox(name); ////////////////// Kindly help.

I don't understand all that string manipulation at the beginning. :confused: The first param is either NULL to use the local computer, or a Unicode string holding the name of the computer to get info for, for example L"\\Servername" --Mike--    THERE IS NO     THERE IS NO    BUT THERE IS MAGIC PIXIE DUST  BUSINESS GENIE  CODE PROJECT BUY MY SOFTWARE!!

The initial string manipulations were used to convert the value in a CString variable to the type of the first parameter . is it not required? Kidly help.. Vini

Use the T2CW macro to do that

#include <atlconv.h> // need this header for the macro

{
USES_CONVERSION;

NetWkstaGetInfo ( T2CW(LPCTSTR(sComputerName)), ... );
}
