Cannot Link some code using LM api due to unresolved symbols

[Vincent Demers]

Hi, whenever I try to link the object from the code below I get this:

Linking...
NetSmple.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_NetLocalGroupAddMembers@20
NetSmple.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_NetLocalGroupAdd@16
NetSmple.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _NetApiBufferFree@4
NetSmple.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _NetUserAdd@16
NetSmple.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _NetGetDCName@12
Debug/NetSmple.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 5 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

NetSmple.exe - 6 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Can you help??

TIA

Here's the beginning of the code (from Microsoft Platform SDK samples):

#define UNICODE 1
#include <windows.h>
#include <lm.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int __cdecl main( int cArgs, char *pArgs[] );

NET_API_STATUS NetSample( LPWSTR lpszDomain,
LPWSTR lpszUser,
LPWSTR lpszPassword,
LPWSTR lpszLocalGroup )
{

USER_INFO_1 user_info;
LOCALGROUP_INFO_1 localgroup_info;
LOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_3 localgroup_members;
LPWSTR lpszPrimaryDC = NULL;
NET_API_STATUS err = 0;
DWORD parm_err = 0;

/* First get the name of the Primary Domain Controller. */
/* Be sure to free the returned buffer */

err = NetGetDCName( NULL, /* Local Machine */
lpszDomain, /* Domain Name */
(LPBYTE *)&lpszPrimaryDC ); /* returned PDC */

if ( err != 0 )
{
printf( "Error getting DC name: %d\n", err );
return( err );
}

/* Set up the USER_INFO_1 struct */

user_info.usri1_name = lpszUser;
user_info.usri1_password = lpszPassword;
user_info.usri1_priv = USER_PRIV_USER;
user_info.usri1_home_dir = TEXT("");
user_info.usri1_comment = TEXT("Sample User");
user_info.usri1_flags = UF_SCRIPT;
user_info.usri1_script_path = TEXT("");

err = NetUserAdd( lpszPrimaryDC, /* PDC name */
1, /* level */
(LPBYTE)&user_info, /* input buffer */
&parm_err ); /* parameter in error */

and so on...

look at the MSDN

Header: Declared in Lmaccess.h; include Lm.h.
Library: Use Netapi32.lib.

Thanks this solved my problem ,

I am new to c/c++ windows programming.

I put Netapi32.lib in the objecy/Library section of the project settings.

Thanks again

Vincent.
