Members

usri2_name

Specifies the name of the user account. For NetUserSetInfo, this member is ignored. The number of characters in the name cannot exceed the value of UNLEN.

usri2_password

The password for the user specified in the usri2_name member. The length cannot exceed PWLEN bytes. The NetUserEnum and NetUserGetInfo functions return a NULL pointer to maintain password security. By convention, Windows NT limits the length of passwords to LM20_PWLEN characters. This convention allows LAN Manager, Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups 3.x, and Windows 95 clients to access a Windows NT server using the account.

usri2_password_age

Specifies the number of seconds elapsed since the usri2_password member was last changed. The NetUserAdd and NetUserSetInfo functions ignore this member.

usri2_priv

One of three values specifying the level of privilege assigned the usri2_name member. For NetUserAdd, this member must be USER_PRIV_USER. For NetUserSetInfo, this member must be the value returned from NetUserGetInfo or NetUserEnum. This member can be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
USER_PRIV_GUEST	Guest
USER_PRIV_USER	User
USER_PRIV_ADMIN	Administrator

usri2_home_dir

Points to a Unicode string containing the path of the home directory for the user specified in the user_name member. The string can be null.

usri2_comment

Points to a Unicode string that contains a comment. The string can be a null string, or it can have any number of characters before the terminating null character.

usri2_flags

Contains values that determine several features. This member can be any of the following values:

Value	Meaning
UF_SCRIPT	The logon script executed. This value must be set for LAN Manager 2.0 or Windows NT.
UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE	The user's account is disabled.
UF_HOMEDIR_REQUIRED	The home directory is required. This value is ignored in Windows NT.
UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD	No password is required.
UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE	The user cannot change the password.
UF_LOCKOUT	The account is currently locked out. For NetUserSetInfo, this value can be cleared to unlock a previously locked account. This value cannot be used to lock a previously unlocked account.
UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD	Represents the password, which should never expire on the account. This value is valid only for Windows NT.

The following values describe the account type. Only one value can be set. You cannot change the account type using the NetUserSetInfo function.

Value	Meaning
UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT	This is a default account type that represents a typical user.
UF_TEMP_DUPLICATE_ACCOUNT	This is an account for users whose primary account is in another domain. This account provides user access to this domain, but not to any domain that trusts this domain. The User Manager refers to this account type as a local user account.
UF_WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT	This is a computer account for a Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server that is a member of this domain.
UF_SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT	This is a computer account for a Windows NT Backup Domain Controller that is a member of this domain.
UF_INTERDOMAIN_TRUST_ACCOUNT	This is a permit to trust account for a Windows NT domain that trusts other domains.

usri2_script_path

Points to a Unicode string specifying the path of the user's logon script, .CMD, .EXE, or .BAT file. The string can be null.

usri2_auth_flags

Specifies an unsigned long integer that contains values that specify the user's operator privileges.

Windows NT: For Windows NT servers, the following restrictions apply:

For NetUserAdd, this member must be zero.

For NetUserSetInfo, this member must be the value returned from NetUserGetInfo or NetUserEnum.

For NetUserGetInfo or NetUserEnum, the appropriate value is returned based on the local group membership. If the user is a member of Print Operations, AF_OP_PRINT is set. If the user is a member of Server Operations, AF_OP_SERVER is set. If the user is a member of the Account Operations, AF_OP_ACCOUNTS is set. AF_OP_COMM is never set.

This member can be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
AF_OP_PRINT	The print operator privilege is enabled.
AF_OP_COMM	The communications operator privilege is enabled.
AF_OP_SERVER	The server operator privilege is enabled.
AF_OP_ACCOUNTS	The accounts operator privilege is enabled.

usri2_full_name

Points to a Unicode string that contains the full name of the user. This string can be a null string, or it can have any number of characters before the terminating null character.

usri2_usr_comment

Points to a Unicode string that contains a user comment. This string can be a null string, or it can have any number of characters before the terminating null character.

usri2_parms

Points to a Unicode string that is set aside for use by applications. This string can be a null string, or it can have any number of characters before the terminating null character. Microsoft products use this member to store user configuration information. Do not modify this information.

usri2_workstations

Points to a Unicode string that contains the names of workstations from which the user can log on. As many as eight workstations can be specified; the names must be separated by commas (,). A null string indicates that there is no restriction. To disable logons from all workstations to this account, set the UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE value in the usri*_flags member.

usri2_last_logon

Specifies when the last logon occurred. This value is stored as the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00, January 1, 1970. This member is ignored in NetUserAdd and NetUserSetInfo calls. This member is maintained separately on each Backup Domain Controller (BDC) in the domain. To get an accurate value, each BDC in the domain must be queried, and the largest value is used.

usri2_last_logoff

Specifies when the last logoff occurred. This value is stored as the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00, January 1, 1970. A value of zero means that the last logoff time is unknown. This member is maintained separately on each Backup Domain Controller (BDC) in the domain. To get an accurate value, each BDC in the domain must be queried, and the largest value is used.

usri2_acct_expires

Specifies when the account will expire. This value is stored as the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00, January 1, 1970. A value of TIMEQ_FOREVER indicates that the account never expires.

usri2_max_storage

Specifies the maximum amount of disk space the user can use. Use the value specified in USER_MAXSTORAGE_UNLIMITED to use all available disk space.

usri2_units_per_week

Specifies the number of equal-length time units into which the week is divided in order to compute the length of the bit string in the usri2_logon_hours member. This value must be UNITS_PER_WEEK for LAN Manager 2.0. This element is ignored in NetUserAdd and NetUserSetInfo functions. For Windows NT services, the units must be one of the following: SAM_DAYS_PER_WEEK, SAM_HOURS_PER_WEEK, or SAM_MINUTES_PER_WEEK.

usri2_logon_hours

Points to a 21-byte (168 bits) bit string that specifies the times during which the user can log on. Each bit represents a unique hour in the week. The first bit (bit 0, word 0) is Sunday, 0:00 to 0:59; the second bit (bit 1, word 0) is Sunday, 1:00 to 1:59; and so on. A null pointer in this element for NetUserAdd calls means that there is no time restriction. A null pointer in this element for NetUserSetInfo calls means that no change is to be made.

usri2_bad_pw_count

Specifies the number of times the user tried to log on to the account using an incorrect password. A value of 0xFFFFFFFF indicates that the value is unknown. This member is ignored in NetUserAdd and NetUserSetInfo calls. This member is maintained separately on each Backup Domain Controller (BDC) in the domain. To get an accurate value, each BDC in the domain must be queried, and the largest value is used.

usri2_num_logons

Counts the number of successful times the user tried to log on to this account. A value of 0xFFFFFFFF indicates that the value is unknown. This member is ignored in NetUserAdd and NetUserSetInfo calls. This member is maintained separately on each Backup Domain Controller (BDC) in the domain. To get an accurate value, each BDC in the domain must be queried, and the largest value is used.

usri2_logon_server

Points to a Unicode string that contains the name of the server to which logon requests are sent. Servernames should be preceded by two backslashes (\\). When the servername is indicated by an asterisk (\\*), the logon request can be handled by any logon server. A null string indicates that requests are sent to the domain controller.

Windows NT: For Windows NT Servers, NetUserGetInfo and NetUserEnum return \\*. The NetUserAdd and NetUserSetInfo functions ignore this member.

usri2_country_code

Specifies the country code for the user's language of choice.

usri2_code_page

Specifies the code page for the user's language of choice.
