NetWkstaGetInfo: Workstation Configuration Information |
Prerequisites |
For this demo, one of the operating systems listed under OS Restrictions above. |
|
NetWkstaGetInfo returns information
about the configuration of a workstation. The WKSTA_INFO_102 structure user returns information about a workstation environment, including platform-specific information, the name of the domain (or workgroup) and the local computer, as well as information concerning the operating system on the machines.
NetWkstaGetInfo acts singly, that is, returns information only for the individual machine passed as servername. The illustration shows NetWkstaGetInfo called twice, passing \\workstation and \\laptop98 as the servername parameters. Note that although this API is to be called only on Windows NT or better, it will return information about Win9x machines registered with the domain or workgroup. A WKSTA_INFO_100, WKSTA_INFO_101 or WKSTA_INFO_102 structure can be used to obtain configuration information. Each differs in the information returned, with WKSTA_INFO_102 returning the most data. The username of the logged-on user is not retrieved in the passed
WKSTA_INFO_102 structure, but as NetWkstaGetInfo: Workstation Configuration and Current User
shows,
by combining NetWkstaGetInfo and NetWkstaUserEnum, the logged-on user for a Windows NT or better machine can be obtained. |
BAS Module Code |
None. |
|
Form Code |
To a form add a command button (Command1), list box (List1), and two labels (Label1, Label2). A third set of labels in a control array can be used for the list item captions. Add the following to the form: |
