NetServerEnum / NetUserEnum not quite good enough

[John Kane]

Greets all,

I have a commonly asked problem, but with a little twist.

I am trying to return the list of domains just like the list a user sees
in their drop down box during an NT login. I don't want to retrieve all
of the domains you'd see if you went through Network
Neighborhood/Microsoft Networking. I guess the difference between the
two is that the drop down list is the list of domains that trust you
(TRUSTING) while the other is the ones you trust (TRUSTED).

I have tried using NetServerEnum with SV_TYPE_DOMAIN_ENUM and that
returns the latter (in my case about 40). I have tried using
NetUserEnum with FILTER_INTERDOMAIN_TRUST_ACCOUNT which returns about 17
in my case. What I want is the 7 (my case) TRUSTING domains just like
the NT login drop down.

Speed is also a consideration so I don't know how much flexibility I
have to kludge/prune the list down by getting the PDC and seeing if my
domain is TRUSTED.

Am I using these functions wrong or do I want something else entirely
like with LSA functions that've been mentioned in my Deja search on this
topic? Perhaps there are other flags to the NetEnum functions that
would help?

I appreciate any responses.

Thanks,

You may want to look up NetEnumerateTrustedDomains(). Since I had, um,
mixed results with NETD(), I invite you to check the warning at
http://mvps.org/win32/network/netd.html first.

Hi, John,

Use LSA to enumerate trusted domains just like the NT login drop down.

Microsoft has an example doing exactly what you want.
The url for that is:

Actually, yes it its--the URL wrapped.

Actually, I think the dialog's dropdown *is* populated by
NetEnumerateTrustedDomains. At least, that's what it looks like to me based on
running "dumpbin /imports" on MSGINA.DLL, extracting strings (ANSI and Unicode),
etc.

Check the Newsgroups header. You'll find microsoft.public.vc.language
on the end of the long (*far* too long) list. Some people don't seem
to understand the idea of selecting the *most* appropriate newsgroup
rather than all that seem appropriate. This is the spammer mentality.
