Probably obvious, but where can I find the mapping between the NTSTATUS
codes and the Win32 error codes? In a book I read that the kernel takes care
of that, without telling how. I would like to return something more
meaningfull than STATUS_SUCCESS or STATUS_UNSUCCESSFULL, but there are too
many codes.

The kernel knows nothing about Win32 error codes, everything is done with
NTSTATUS codes. The mapping from NTSTATUS to Win32 is done in user mode.

If you just need to map an NTSTATUS value to a Win32 error, use
LsaNtStatusToWinError() (in ADVAPI32.DLL).

Have a look at the KB article Q113996
"INFO: Mapping NT Status Error Codes to Win32 Error Codes"
