- Networking (LAN Manager) API Sample
-
-
- This sample changes the password for an arbitrary user on an arbitrary
- target machine.
-
- When targetting a domain controller for account update operations,
- be sure to target the primary domain controller for the domain.
- The account settings are replicated by the primary domain controller
- to each backup domain controller as appropriate. The NetGetDCName()
- Lan Manager API call can be used to get the primary domain controller
- computer name from a domain name.
-
- Note that admin or account operator privilege is required on the
- target machine unless argv[4] is present and represents the correct
- current password.
-
- NetUserSetInfo() at info-level 1003 is appropriate for administrative
- over-ride of an existing password.
-
- NetUserChangePassword() allows for an arbitrary user to over-ride
- an existing password providing that the current password is confirmed.
