I am running ActivePerl 5.2 with Win32::AdminMisc installed. For some
reason Win32::AdminMisc::UserGetMiscAttributes() just won't work for me
under Windows 2000 Pro. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see
what. My test script, which I gathered from Perl for System
Administrators--a good book, iterates through the user list for the local
machine and attempts to display the attributes for a user:
use Win32::AdminMisc;
Win32::AdminMisc::GetUsers('', '', \@users)
or die "unable to get users: $!\n";
foreach $user (@users) {
print "working on user $user...\n";
Win32::AdminMisc::UserGetMiscAttributes('DUSTIN-BOX', $user,
\%attribs)
or warn "unable to get attrib: $!\n";
print join(":", $user,
'*',
$attribs{USER_USER_ID},
$attribs{USER_PRIMARY_GROUP_ID},
'',
$attribs{USER_COMMENT},
$attribs{USER_FULL_NAME},
$attribs{USER_HOME_DIR_DRIVE},
$attribs{USER_HOME_DIR},
''),"\n";
}
Simple enough. Unfortunately, the UserGetMiscAttributes() method fails, as
shown below. Please note that I added 'DUSTIN-BOX', the name of my machine,
as the domain name. Before posting I scanned for a similar problem in the
list archives and saw mention of this tactic. Unfortunately, it hasn't
fixed the problem. My machine is not in a domain, so I would normally just
use '' as the domain parameter for UserGetMiscAttributes().
