How to Perform Programmatic Logon from Windows for Workgroups

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

I_AutoLogon is the only documented API for doing a programmatic logon from Windows for Workgroups. This API requires the user to type a user name and password. There aren't any other documented functions for performing logons. In particular, there is nothing documented to:

• Perform a programmatic logon using a specific user name and password.
• Perform a programmatic logon to a particular domain.

MORE INFORMATION

It is possible to perform a logon in an indirect fashion by executing a batch file that calls NET LOGON. For example, you might have a file named LOGON.BAT that contains:

   REM batch file that performs a logon
   NET LOGON <username> <password> /DOMAIN:<mydomain>

   WinExec( "LOGON.BAT", SW_HIDE );
