    once they've id'ed the proper interface.

    It is the identification of the appropriate APIs and security settings--basically reading & understanding the appropriate MS documentation--that I consider beyond the scope of this forum.

    Once so identified, calling those is still far easier from C# than via either of XS or Win32::API
