NetGetAnyDCName
The NetGetAnyDCName
function gets the name of any domain controller for a domain that is directly
trusted by the server name.
Security Requirements
No special
group membership is required to successfully execute NetGetAnyDCName.
NET_API_STATUS NetGetAnyDCName(
LPCWSTR ServerName, |
LPCWSTR DomainName, |
OUT LPBYTE * Buffer |
); |
Parameters
ServerName
Pointer to a
null-terminated 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.
DomainName
Specifies the
name of domain (null for primary domain)
Buffer
Returns a
pointer to an allocated buffer containing the server name of a domain
controller for the domain. The server
name is prefixed by \\. The buffer should be deallocated using NetApiBufferFree.
Remarks
If ServerName
is a standalone Windows NT Workstation or standalone Windows NT Server, no DomainName
is valid. If ServerName is a Windows NT Workstation that is a member of
a domain or a Windows NT Server member, the DomainName must be in the
same domain as ServerName. If ServerName is a Windows NT Server
domain controller, the DomainName must be one of the domains trusted by
the domain for which the server is a controller . The domain controller that
this call finds has been operational at least once during this call.
