Hi Amit,

Thanks for responding to my post. However, I think you missed what I was
asking about. I have all the information you specified, the problem is that
on MSDN there is the following:

>>>
Return level two information and additional attributes about the user
account. This level is valid only on servers. The bufptr parameter points to
a USER_INFO_3 structure. Note that it is recommended that you use
USER_INFO_4 instead.
<<<

Notice the text "This level is valid only on servers". If I am running this
on a Workstation then what should I use to get this information. The text
for USER_INFO_4 says the same thing.

Thx,
