Re: Win32::Lanman::NetUserEnum ... FLAGS

The flags field is a bitmask. In order to see if a setting is flagged, you need to "and" the appropriate value against the flags value.

For example, if

${$user}{'flags'} & UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE
[download]

is true, then the Account Dsabled flag is set. Look through the POD for the module for all the UF_ constants. Those will be the flags you're going to "and" against.

Still wont work :( by Anonymous Monk on Nov 06, 2003 at 20:10 UTC
Thanks for the reply Can you think of any reason why this woudlnt work on a Win2K box?? I tried: `print "Disabled" if ($info{'flags'} & UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE);` But get nothing. The rest of the values in %info are there tho and if I just `print $info{'flags'};` I get 66049 Thanks in advance, David	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Are you sure that the account is disabled? From the sounds of it you might not know what I meant by "and"ing. In case you're a little confused about that, here's how it works. That number you see isn't used as a decimal number as you typed it. It's actually used as a binary number. Each binary digit is used as either ON(1) or OFF(0). Now each of those binary places can also be represented as a decimal number. 00000001=1 00000010=2 00000100=4 00001000=8 00010000=16 00100000=32 etc.. So... all of these numbers are represented as the UF_ constants. When you AND, you're checking if the bit represented in the UF_ variable is on. If, for the account you're checking, the account is disabled, I'm guessing you have a problem someplace else. Your other option is to use WMI. You can invoke it using Win32::OLE . Google for Win32_UserAccount and you should find some good information.	[reply]

I should have elaborated a bit more. I did try running the code against both enabled and disabled with same result. Different flags value tho. I knew what you meant by 'Anding' the bits. Same as figuring out a subnet... I even thought about converting the number to binary and figuring out the switch values with a pencil. :) Now for the very embarrasing truth of the matter... `use Win32::Lanman != use Win32::lanman` Change that detail and it all works like a charm. Apreciate the help and thanks to BrowserUK as well!! -David	[reply] [d/l]
