LSASAMP.C
/*++
Managing user privileges can be achieved programmatically using the
following steps:
1. Open the policy on the target machine with LsaOpenPolicy(). To grant
privileges, open the policy with POLICY_CREATE_ACCOUNT and
POLICY_LOOKUP_NAMES access. To revoke privileges, open the policy with
POLICY_LOOKUP_NAMES access.
2. Obtain a SID (security identifier) representing the user/group of
interest. The LookupAccountName() and LsaLookupNames() APIs can obtain a
SID from an account name.
3. Call LsaAddAccountRights() to grant privileges to the user(s)
represented by the supplied SID.
4. Call LsaRemoveAccountRights() to revoke privileges from the user(s)
represented by the supplied SID.
5. Close the policy with LsaClose().
To successfully grant and revoke privileges, the caller needs to be an
administrator on the target system.
The LSA API LsaEnumerateAccountRights() can be used to determine which
privileges have been granted to an account.
The LSA API LsaEnumerateAccountsWithUserRight() can be used to determine
which accounts have been granted a specified privilege.
Documentation and header files for these LSA APIs is provided in the
Windows 32 SDK in the MSTOOLS\SECURITY directory.
NOTE: These LSA APIs are currently implemented as Unicode only.
This sample will grant the privilege SeServiceLogonRight to the account
specified on argv[1].
This sample is dependant on these import libs
advapi32.lib (for LsaXxx)
user32.lib (for wsprintf)
This sample will work properly compiled ANSI or Unicode.
You can use domain\account as argv[1]. For instance, mydomain\scott will
grant the privilege to the mydomain domain account scott.
The optional target machine is specified as argv[2], otherwise, the
account database is updated on the local machine.
The LSA APIs used by this sample are Unicode only.
Use LsaRemoveAccountRights() to remove account rights.

This function attempts to obtain a SID representing the supplied
account on the supplied system.
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE. A buffer is
allocated which contains the SID representing the supplied account.
This buffer should be freed when it is no longer needed by calling
HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, buffer)
If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. Call GetLastError()
to obtain extended error information.
