Hi there, im trying to make a call to NetUserGetInfo with level 3 on windows 2000 and all i keep getting is a result of 53. Does anyone know how to resolve this. Cheers Mark.

This might be related to the Winsock errors, where error 53 is this:
Software caused connection abort.
An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine, possibly due to a data transmission timeout or protocol error.
It could be something totally different too

I have no idea.

The following code works for me. User Info Level 3 is only valid on Windows NT / 2000 Servers, you're not trying to run this on your workstation, are you?

      
#include <windows.h>
#include <lm.h>
#include <atlbase.h>d
#include <atlconv.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	PUSER_INFO_3 pUser = NULL;
	LPCTSTR lpUser = _T("administrator");

	USES_CONVERSION;

	if(NetUserGetInfo(NULL, T2W(lpUser), 3, (LPBYTE*)&pUser) != NERR_Success)
		return 1;

	_tprintf(_T("USER: %s\n\tFull Name: %s\n\tComment: %s\n\tLogon Failures:%u\n"), W2T(pUser->usri3_name),
		W2T(pUser->usri3_full_name), W2T(pUser->usri3_comment), pUser->usri3_bad_pw_count);

	NetApiBufferFree(pUser);

	return 0;
}
