Hi All,

I am creating a class library project for VC++ in VS 2005. On
compilation, the following error is returned

error C2664: 'LookupAccountNameW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from
'char *' to 'LPCWSTR'
the line of concern is :

if ( ! LookupAccountName( argv[1], argv[2], userSid, &sidSize, refDom,
&domSize, &sidUse ) )
err( "LAN()", gle, false );

I think the problem lies in the fact that the .h file has a main
function which is as follows

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
if ( argc != 3 )
{
puts( "Usage: lsa_lear <system name> <account name>" );
puts( "Enumerates privileges for the named account on the named
machine." );
puts( "<system name> is the machine where the lookup will
execute." );
puts( "<account name> is the account to examine, e.g. \"FOO\\felixk
\" or \"Administrators\"." );
return 1;
}


// open the policy object on the target computer

static SECURITY_QUALITY_OF_SERVICE sqos = { sizeof
SECURITY_QUALITY_OF_SERVICE, SecurityImpersonation,
SECURITY_DYNAMIC_TRACKING, FALSE };
static LSA_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES lsaOA = { sizeof LSA_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES,
NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, &sqos };
NTSTATUS nts;
LSA_HANDLE polHandle;
LsaUnicodeString systemName;

systemName = argv[1];

nts = LsaOpenPolicy( systemName, &lsaOA, GENERIC_READ |
GENERIC_EXECUTE, &polHandle );
err( "LOP()", nts );

// translate the account name to a RID plus associated domain SID

SID *userSid;
char refDom[MAX_PATH];
SID_NAME_USE sidUse;
DWORD sidSize, domSize;
const char *acctTypeString;

userSid = (SID *) malloc( MAX_PATH );
sidSize = domSize = MAX_PATH;

if ( ! LookupAccountName( argv[1], argv[2], userSid, &sidSize,
refDom, &domSize, &sidUse ) )
err( "LAN()", gle, false );

acctTypeString = NULL;
switch ( sidUse )
{
case SidTypeAlias:
case SidTypeUser:
case SidTypeGroup:
case SidTypeWellKnownGroup:
break;
case SidTypeDomain:
if ( acctTypeString == NULL )
acctTypeString = " domain";
// fall-through
case SidTypeInvalid:
if ( acctTypeString == NULL )
acctTypeString = "n invalid";
// fall-through
case SidTypeUnknown:
if ( acctTypeString == NULL )
acctTypeString = "n unknown";
// fall-through
case SidTypeDeletedAccount:
if ( acctTypeString == NULL )
acctTypeString = " deleted";
printf( "Don't know how to handle a%s account.\n",
acctTypeString );
return 1;
}

LsaUnicodeString *userRights;
ULONG count;

userRights = NULL;
count = 0;
nts = LsaEnumerateAccountRights( polHandle, userSid,
(LSA_UNICODE_STRING **) &userRights, &count );
err( "LEAR()", nts );

DWORD i;
char *p;

printf( "%d privileges for user \"%s\" in domain \"%s\":\n", count,
argv[2], refDom );
for ( i = 0; i < count; ++ i )
{
p = (char *) userRights; // must free() later
printf( "priv %u: %s\n", i, p );
free( p );
}

LsaClose( polHandle );
free( userSid );

return 0;
}


Could someone assist me in getting rid of this problem.

Thanks
 
Ask it in the microsoft.public.vc.language group. This question has nothing
to do with .net framework.

...never mind .... figured itout :D

actually it does have to do with the framework.

Based on what you posted it has nothing to do with .NET whatsoever. You
likely had the UNICODE and/or _UNICODE constants #defined.
