How can i enumerate users

I've never used that API but based on the documentation my first guess would be that if entriesRead is more than 1 the buffer will contain an array of them so you would iterate through the array, something like:

PLOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_1 pData = (PLOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_1)buffer;

for(int i = 0;i< entriesRead ;i++, pData++)
{
  pData->lgrmi1_sid;  // etc.
}

Of course I would have to verify that by debugging since I've never worked with it.

BTW: Don't forget to free the buffer Wink | ;)

"bufptr [out]

Pointer to the address that receives the return information structure. The format of this data depends on the value of the level parameter. This buffer is allocated by the system and must be freed using the NetApiBufferFree function. Note that you must free the buffer even if the function fails with ERROR_MORE_DATA."

Here what i get after a lot of googling or say binging

LPLOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_1 pstMembersInfo = 0;
DWORD entriesread = 0;
DWORD totalentries = 0;
if( 0 != NetLocalGroupGetMembers( NULL, _T("Administrators"), 1, (LPBYTE*)
&pstMembersInfo,MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH,
&entriesread, &totalentries, 0 ))
{
AfxMessageBox( _T("NetLocalGroupGetMembers failed !"));
return ;
}
for( DWORD dwIdx =0; dwIdx < entriesread; dwIdx ++ )
{
AfxMessageBox( pstMembersInfo[dwIdx].lgrmi1_name );
}
NetApiBufferFree( pstMembersInfo );

Dynamic char Array

jlgeris2-Jul-09 5:38

Essentially, I'm reading some names from a text file, and I need to allocate the array at runtime. I'm missing something regarding the allocation of each individual name. After I copy the first name into the array slot, it fills up every spot in the array with the first value. After the loop finishes I have an array with [count] copies of the initial value I read from the file.

I'm using the StreamReader class in other places in the program so that's why I'm marshaling the string to a char*. Maybe not the ideal solution, but I believe the problem is separate from that.

char **temp=NULL;
my_malloc((void**)&temp,count*sizeof(char*));

StreamReader^ din = File::OpenText(fileName);
String^ str;

while ((str = din->ReadLine()) != nullptr)
{			
  char* x = (char*)System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(str).ToPointer();
  my_malloc((void**)&temp[count],strlen(x)*sizeof(char)+1);  //i imagine the problem is here
  strcpy(temp[count],x);				     //or here
  System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::FreeHGlobal((IntPtr)x);
  count++;
}

The my_malloc function is just a wrapper around free() and malloc().

Thanks for the help.

FYI

int my_malloc(void **param_adr, int param_size)
{
    my_free(param_adr);
    if ((*param_adr = malloc(param_size)) == NULL)
    {
        return -1;
    }
    memset(*param_adr,0,param_size);

    return 0;
}

void my_free(void **param_adr)
{
    if (*param_adr != NULL)
    {
        free(*param_adr);
        *param_adr = NULL;
    }
    return;

When you allocated temp, you allocated temp[0] to temp[count-1] - temp[count] is undefined. Either use a different index variable or reset count to 0

As sizeof(char)==1, it makes no difference, but you really wanted (strlen(x)+1)*sizeof(char)

CString::Format causing Advanced Direct Buffer Access error

colm omahony2-Jul-09 5:18

2-Jul-09 5:18

Hello,
my program takes in a large file(s) of byte code and writes it into thousands of smaller files.
The program gives an MFC42D.DLL: 0xC00000005 Access Violation when it reaches the first of two lines of code below.

<pre> siteAndChannelIDStr.Format("C:\\Network Data\\Unclassified Events\\Last Extracted\\%s\\#%d\\", siteNamesArray[listBoxIndex], OCUIDfromEALFile);
CreateDirectory(siteAndChannelIDStr, NULL);

The CString object and directory are successfully created during the previous iterations, but oddly fails this time round.

I have followed the program execution using the debugger and it falls down at "if" statement in the "Advanced direct buffer access" bit in MFC\SRC\STRCORE.cpp

<code> if (GetData()->nRefs > 1 || nMinBufLength > GetData()->nAllocLength)

I have tried setting siteAndChannelIDStr = ""; after use
And changing the Format function to one described on the microsoft website <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/127038"></a>
And tried using CString Arrays for the siteNamesArray

But no luck!
Has anyone come across this type of problem before?

I have tried the program out on 3 different files, but it fails at the same line (although prog had passed this line for each previous hundreds of iterations)

It fails after subfile 4977/10893 in file1
after subfile 4901/8135 in file2
after subfile 384/13321 in file3

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I can provide more information if necessary. I cannot put up source code as it is for my work.

Thanks,
Colm

The error implies GetData() is returning zero - why is that happening?

Are you running out of memory possibly?

What are the parameter values going into the function?

Just checked in the debugger and nMinBufLength is 91 for the other calls to GetBuffer() is only 55 on the call that causes the error.
So I think running out of memeory is the problem somehow...
I've tried siteAndChannelIDStr.ReleaseBuffer(); and siteAndChannelIDStr = "";

I tried shortening the lenght of the filePath and it is still failing at the same location.

What params do you require -
I cannot get anymore values - for previous iterations nRefs=-1, nDataLength=0, nAllocLength=0

Thanks again,
Colm

In that case, you need to be releasing memory somewhere - but what is it that's taking up all the memory?
