Creating A Local User With The Option "User Must Change Password At Next Logon" Set
Oct 19, 2010
I am currently creating a tool that can manage local user accounts on Windows-PCs. I am using the functions described on
this MSDN page ; and after some struggling, I got most of them to work.
Unluckily, I haven't found a way to set the option "User must change password at next logon" while creating a new user account. I use the
NetUserAdd -Function to create the new user. I set the level to 1 and supply a
USER_INFO_1 -Structure . This structure accepts flags, and the flag UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED seems to be exactly what I want - but when I set it, the user can log on without changing the password first...
I'm developing on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit using Visual Studio 2010 Express.
Here's my code:
#Region "Constants"
Public Const UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED As Integer = &H800000
Public Const USER_PRIV_USER As Integer = 1
[Code].....

I am using VB.NET 2008.
On this Windows 7 Professional SP1 machine, when I run the following code in the program
FileCopy(sServer & "loglog.txt", Application.StartupPath & "log.txt")
I got the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
sServer is 1 of our server machine.
The Windows 7 machine already logged in to the sServer as administrator, and it also login to the Windows 7 machine as administrator. I run the VB program as Administrator (right click - Run as Administrator).
In the Windows 7 machine I can go to Windows explorer and copy the file manually from the sServer machine to the Application.StartupPath folder.

When my application starts, one of the first thing it does is load a list box with data from an Excel file stored on our server.To prevent an issue I had with two or moreengineers trying to load the data from the same file at the same time, I added code that copied the Excel file to a temporary file (which is,hen, deleted when the data load is done).This has been working fine up until last week. Last week our company moved to a new building.The move included servers and all. Suddenly I'm getting inundatedwith complaints from engineers about my application.It seems that they started getting the following error

I created a program with all our clients user name's and password that will be used to log on a web page from our company so i can modify there settings. So far so good i created a form with a combo box to pick a name and then a simple click on the button opens form2 with a browser in it. This browser automatic logs on the page it loads. You should say mission accomplished and we are done........ not yet this stupid page got something nasty in it. If i want to open our clients reports it opens in a new browser and this is something i can't change. So basically what happens if i click the report it opens in the standard user defined browser installed on my machine. This means i get a log in screen again cause my session is in the VB.net browser.
Let me show the code i use at moment that i use to auto log on. For some reasons i did cut out the URL's out of my code. (privacy, security etc.)
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Windows.Forms

I am working on an application that I want to give the User the option of using a password and sign-in or not. I have added three items to the "Settings" , these are:
1) SignInRequired (True or False)
2) UserID (string)
3) Password (string)
My problem is that I'm not sure where I should put the code. Should I use a module and set it as the opening form, or shall i put the code in the first form the viewer sees, which I tried and due to other situations the form has several different appearances, a this is causing a problem.

I'm writing a windows service in VB.Net and set the service process installer's "Account" property set to "User". So when I tried to install the utility using INSTALLUTIL.EXE it is prompting to enter the user id and password. So I wanted to suppress this "Set Service Logon" so added below code to ProjectInstaller.vb and I was able to do what ever I want: [code]

I am trying to figure out a way to change the SQLSERVERAGENT service Logon password with one of my VB2008 applications. I can't seem to find any place in the registry were the password is stored and can find any solution other than manually going into the service and changing it myself.

This might seem obvious but I was doing some research and I was wondering if a service application start an executable. I know an .exe cannot start without some sort of logon but I was wondering if it was possible to work around this by having my service call it.

I'm working on upgrading a solution in VB.NET that is heavily based on Active Directory. As of now, I'm trying to add a PC restriction to a new AD User upon user creation. Essentially, I need to update the Logon To attribute to include 1 or more PCs, how do I go about doing this? I learned that I am interested in the IADsUser property "LoginWorkstations" url...). As of now, I have code that can fetch this attribute from any AD user, but I cannot set it. [code]I've tried testing this approach with a different attribute and it works just fine. Not much out there on Google either unfortunately.

what I'm trying to do in the title. I've got a rich text box and two combo boxes. I used a code snippet to show all the installed fonts in the first one and I implemented the use of an integer for the text size. I think that what I've done is correct but the application throws an Inner Exception whenever I try to change the font or the text size.

I have a project where I added visually and successfully a datasource of MySql. I binded a datagridview with a table.
But, how do I change programatically the password, ip or user to connect with the MySql server? Because it can change at any time, so I can let the user change these values.

I want to get a local windows user by SID: I found this code
[ADSI]("WinNT://$Env:Computername/<SID=S-1-5-18>")
[URL]
I deduced from it, I could do it in (VB) .NET with this:
Dim strURL As String = "WinNT://" + strComputerName + "/<SID=" + strSID + ">"
Dim de As DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(strURL)
de.Properties("whatever").Value.ToString()
However, this doesn't work.Anybody knows how I can do this WITHOUT looping over all users (which requires to convert from byte[] to string first, and then compare [case insensitive] a lot of strings, which makes it slow).

Is there a way to programmaticly get the failed logon count for local Windows users in XP and later? Alternatively, is there a way for my service to get a message when a failed logon occurs? Currently coding in VB.NET, but will take any suggestions in any language.
