NET_API_STATUS NetGroupSetInfo(
  LPWSTR servername, 
  LPWSTR groupname,  
  DWORD level,       
  LPBYTE buf,        
  LPDWORD parm_err   
);

Parameters

servername

Pointer to a Unicode string containing the name of the remote server on which the function is to execute. A NULL pointer or string specifies the local computer.

groupname

Pointer to a Unicode string containing the name of the global group account to set information on.

level

Specifies one of the following values to set the level of information pointed to in the buf parameter.

Value	Meaning
0	Specify group name. The specified buffer points to an array of GROUP_INFO_0 structures.
1	Specifiy group name and comment. The specified buffer points to an array of GROUP_INFO_1 structures.
2	Specify information about the group. The specified buffer points to an array of GROUP_INFO_2 structures.
1002	Specify comments about the group. The specified buffer points to an array of GROUP_INFO_1002 structures.

Pointer to a buffer containing the global group information.

parm_err

Optional pointer to a DWORD that returns the index of the first parameter in error following an ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER message. If NULL the parameter is not returned on error.

Remarks

You can call NetGroupSetInfo with GROUP_INFO_1 and specify a value using the grpi1_name member. However, that value will be ignored. The correct way to specify the new name of the group is to call NetGroupSetInfo with GROUP_INFO_0 and specify a value using grpi0_name.
