Examples

The following C/C++ code example retrieves the WinNT system information. For brevity, error checking is omitted.

#include <activeds.h>
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
   HRESULT hr;
 
   hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
 
    IADsWinNTSystemInfo *pNtSys;
    hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WinNTSystemInfo,
                          NULL,
                          CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                          IID_IADsWinNTSystemInfo,
                          (void**)&pNTsys);
 
   BSTR bstr;
   hr = pNtSys->get_UserName(&bstr);
   if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
      printf("User: %S\n", bstr);
      SysFreeString(bstr);
   }
 
   hr = pNtSys->get_ComputerName(&bstr);
   if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
      printf("Computer: %S\n", bstr);
      SysFreeString(bstr);
   }
 
   hr = pNtSys->get_DomainName(&bstr);
   if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
      printf("Domain: %S\n", bstr);
      SysFreeString(bstr);
   }
 
   hr = pNtSys->get_PDC(&bstr);
   if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
      printf("PDC: %S\n", bstr);
      SysFreeString(bstr);
   }
 
   if(pNtSys) {
      pNtSys->Release();
   }
 
   CoUninitialize();
   return 0;
}

The following Visual Basic code example retrieves the WinNT system information.

Dim ntsys As New WinNTSystemInfo
Debug.print "User: " & ntsys.UserName
Debug.print "Computer: " & ntsys.ComputerName
Debug.print "Domain: " & ntsys.DomainName
Debug.print "PDC: " & ntsys.PDC

The following Visual Basic Scripting Edition/Active Server Pages code example retrieves the WinNT system information.

<%
Dim ntsys
Set ntsys = CreateObject("WinNTSystemInfo")
Response.Write "User: " & ntsys.UserName
Response.Write "Computer: " & ntsys.ComputerName
Response.Write "Domain: " & ntsys.DomainName
Response.Write "PDC: " & ntsys.PDC
%>
