Platform SDK: Network Management |
The NetGroupSetInfo function sets the parameters of a global group in the security database.
Windows NT: Only members of the Administrators or Account Operators local group can successfully execute the NetGroupSetInfo function.
Windows 2000: If you call this function on a Windows 2000 domain controller that is running Active Directory, access is allowed or denied based on the access-control list (ACL) for the securable object. The default ACL permits only Administrators and account operators to call this function. On a member server or workstation, only Administrators and account operators can call this function. For more information, see Security Requirements for the Network Management Functions.
NET_API_STATUS NetGroupSetInfo( LPCWSTR servername, LPCWSTR groupname, DWORD level, LPBYTE buf, LPDWORD parm_err );
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
0 | Specifies a global group name. The buf parameter points to a GROUP_INFO_0 structure. |
1 | Specifies a global group name and a comment. The buf parameter points to a GROUP_INFO_1 structure. |
2 | Specifies detailed information about the global group. The buf parameter points to a GROUP_INFO_2 structure. |
1002 | Specifies a comment only about the global group. The buf parameter points to a GROUP_INFO_1002 structure. |
1005 | Specifies global group attributes. The buf parameter points to a GROUP_INFO_1005 structure. |
For more information, see the following Remarks section.
If the function succeeds, the return value is NERR_Success.
If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following error codes.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED | The user does not have access to the requested information. |
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER | One of the function parameters is invalid. For more information, see the following Remarks section. |
NERR_InvalidComputer | The computer name is invalid. |
NERR_NotPrimary | The operation is allowed only on the primary domain controller of the domain. |
NERR_GroupNotFound | The global group name could not be found. |
NERR_SpeGroupOp | The operation is not allowed on certain special groups. These groups include user groups, admin groups, local groups, and guest groups. |
The correct way to set the new name of a global group is to call the NetGroupSetInfo function, using a GROUP_INFO_0 structure. Specify the new value in the grpi0_name member. If you use a GROUP_INFO_1 structure and specify the value in the grpi1_name member, the new name value is ignored.
If the NetGroupSetInfo function returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER, you can use the parm_err parameter to indicate the first member of the group information structure that is invalid. (A group information structure begins with GROUP_INFO_ and its format is specified by the level parameter.) The following table lists the values that can be returned in the parm_err parameter and the corresponding structure member that is in error. (The prefix grpi*_ indicates that the member can begin with multiple prefixes, for example, grpi1_ or grpi2_.)
Value | Member |
---|---|
GROUP_NAME_PARMNUM | grpi*_name |
GROUP_COMMENT_PARMNUM | grpi*_comment |
GROUP_ATTRIBUTES_PARMNUM | grpi*_attributes |
If you are programming for Active Directory, you may be able to call certain Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI) methods to achieve the same functionality you can achieve by calling the network management group functions. For more information, see IADsGroup.
