Re: ADSI and C#

Hi Marc,
I want to rename the logon name. Now i changed my approach and now i'm using
WMI. But my problem is: This code does not work in W2k, just in XP and 2003.
Do you know how can i do it in a W2k Enviroment ?
Look my code:

void RenameUsr(string hostname, string admusr)

{


try

{

ConnectionOptions oConn = new ConnectionOptions();

string myMachine = @"\\" + hostname + @"\root\cimv2" ;

string myQuery = "Select * from Win32_UserAccount WHERE Domain = " + "'" +
hostname + "'" + " AND SIDType = 1 ";

ManagementScope oMs = new ManagementScope(myMachine, oConn);

ObjectQuery oQuery = new ObjectQuery(myQuery);

ManagementObjectSearcher oSearcher = new
ManagementObjectSearcher(oMs,oQuery);

ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection1 = oSearcher.Get();

foreach( ManagementObject mo in queryCollection1 )

{


try

{

string sLogin = mo["Name"].ToString();

if(sLogin.StartsWith("Admin"))

{

ManagementBaseObject iPar = mo.GetMethodParameters("Rename");

iPar["Name"] = admusr;

ManagementBaseObject outPar= mo.InvokeMethod("Rename", iPar, null);

uint ret = (uint)outPar.Properties["ReturnValue"].Value;

if(ret != 0)

{

MessageBox.Show("Error " + ret.ToString() + " trying to rename user");

}

}

}

catch(Exception ez)

{

MessageBox.Show(hostname + " " + admusr + " " + ez.Message);

}

}

}

catch(Exception zz)

{

MessageBox.Show(hostname + " " + admusr + " " + zz.Message);

}

}

}

Thanks in advance,

Victor
