RE: disable user account

You should check the return value from the UserSetMiscAttributes, and if false you should print the error message using:       print Win32::FormatMessage ( Win32::GetLastError() );   Gary -----Original Message----- From: Dan Navilliat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 10:03 AM Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: disable user account Hello, I am trying to disable a local ( i.e. non domain) user account. Here is the script that I am using   use Win32::AdminMisc;   $User = 'test'; if( Win32::AdminMisc::UserGetMiscAttributes( '\\\\pc1', $User, \%Hash ) ) { $Hash{USER_FLAGS} = $Hash{USER_FLAGS} | UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE; Win32::AdminMisc::UserSetMiscAttributes( '\\\\pc1', $User, USER_FLAGS, $Hash{USER_FLAGS} ); print " foo"; } For some reason the account is not being disabled. Any idea s ? Thanks Dan
