NetWkstaSetInfo info  Overview  Group

The NetWkstaSetInfo function configures a workstation. This information remains in effect after the system has been reinitialized.

Security Requirements

Only members of the Administrators local group can successfully execute NetWkstaSetInfo on a remote server.

NET_API_STATUS NetWkstaSetInfo(

LPTSTR servername,
DWORD level,
LPBYTE buffer,
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.

level

Specifies one of the following values to set the level of information provided.

Value	Meaning
100	The buffer parameter points to a WKSTA_INFO_100 structure.
101	The buffer parameter points to a WKSTA_INFO_101 structure.
102	The buffer parameter points to a WKSTA_INFO_102 structure.
302	The buffer parameter points to a WKSTA_INFO_302 structure.
402	The buffer parameter points to a WKSTA_INFO_402 structure.
1101	The buffer parameter points to a WKSTA_USER_INFO_1101 structure.

In addition, the structures WKSTA_USER_INFO_502, WKSTA_USER_INFO_1010-1013, WKSTA_USER_INFO_1018, WKSTA_USER_INFO_1023, WKSTA_USER_INFO_1027, WKSTA_USER_INFO_1028, WKSTA_USER_INFO_1032, WKSTA_USER_INFO_1033, WKSTA_USER_INFO_1035, and WKSTA_USER_INFO_1041-1062 should not be set by the user.

buffer

Pointer to the buffer in which the data set with the level parameter is stored.

parm_num

Determines whether the buffer parameter contains a complete WKSTA_INFO_X (where Xis the level) structure or a single structure component. If parm_num is set to PARMNUM_ALL, buffer must point to a WKSTA_INFO_X structure. Otherwise, only one element is changed, and parm_num must point to the single element to change.

Not all elements can be changed. Only those elements that have a specific PARMNUM constant value defined can be set. The following possible values are defined.

Value	Component to Set
PARMNUM_ALL	All elements
WKSTA_CHARWAIT_PARMNUM	wki0_charwait
WKSTA_CHARTIME_PARMNUM	wki0_chartime
WKSTA_CHARCOUNT_PARMNUM	wki0_charcount
WKSTA_ERRLOGSZ_PARMNUM	wki0_errlogsz
WKSTA_PRINTBUFTIME_PARMNUM	wki0_printbuftime
WKSTA_WRKHEURISTICS_PARMNUM	wki0_wrkheuristics
WKSTA_OTHDOMAINS_PARMNUM	wki1_oth_domains

parm_err

Optional pointer to a DWORD that contains the index of the first parameter that causes ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. If NULL, the parameter is not returned on error.

Remarks

You must be a member of the Administrators local group to successfully execute NetWkstaSetInfo on a remote server or on a computer that has local security enabled. NetWkstaSetInfo does not change values in the LANMAN.INI file. Values set by previous calls to NetWkstaSetInfo can be overwritten when workstation parameters are reset. When the Workstation service is stopped and restarted, parameters are reset to the default values specified in the LANMAN.INI file unless overwritten by command-line parameters.

Domain names in the wki1_oth_domains member of the WKSTA_USER_INFO_1101 structure are separated by spaces. An empty list is valid. A null pointer means to leave the member unmodified. The wki1_oth_domains member cannot be set with MS-DOS. When setting this element, NetWkstaSetInfo rejects the request if the name list was invalid or if a name could not be added to one or more of the network adapters managed by Net.
