C# - Get Local User By SID?

Feb 28, 2011

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).

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

Remotely Add Domain User To Local Group?

Jul 14, 2009

I'm in the process of writing a script for use in our lab. I need it to remotely add a domain user to the local group "Remote Desktop Users" on some remote desktop servers we use to bridge two subnets. The person adding the user would have admin rights for that remote server. I would use GPO, but we don't control the domain and it'd be damned near impossible to convince IT to set aside a OU for us with just those machines. I've been looking at using WMI in the script I've been working on but I haven't got the slightest clue how I'd implement it.

System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement - Error Adding User To Local Administrators Group But Not Other Groups?

Apr 30, 2012

I am using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement to try to add a local account to the local administrators group with the following code but am getting the error below on the group.Members.Add(usr) line. Both usr and group are created as objects and if I create a Test group, I can add the user to the Test group. I know the group object is the local administrators group and not the domain group because i changed the description on the local administratrors group and the group object is correct so it appears to be something specific to the local administrators group.
