    Hi,

    I have a server process (actually running as a service) which perform
    password change operations. For this purpose I am using the
    NetUserChangePassword API. The server can handle multiple password
    change requests at the same time. Consider a scenario where the server
    receives 2 simultaneous password change request for the same user and
    spawns 2 threads for handling the requests. In this case do each thread
    explicitly needs to acquire a lock before calling NetUserChangePassword
    or the API internally handles such scenarios?

    Thanks,
    Koushik
