Hi All,

I am trying to use NetGroupAdd() to create a group on my computer, but it
always return ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. Do you guys know how to resolve the
problem? (Windows Xp sp3)

///code here
_GROUP_INFO_0 groupInfo;
DWORD param_err;
NET_API_STATUS sResult;

ZeroMemory(&groupInfo, sizeof(groupInfo));

groupInfo.grpi0_name = L"testGroup";

USES_CONVERSION;
sResult = NetGroupAdd(NULL, 0, (LPBYTE)&groupInfo, &param_err);

/// end code

Thanks
Su

Perhaps you need NetLocalGroupAdd, because you're running on a workstation,
not a domain controller?

Do you run with administrative privileges?
