  • Article

The RpcNsProfileDelete function deletes a profile attribute.

Note  This function is not supported on Windows Vista and later operating systems.
 

Syntax

RPC_STATUS RpcNsProfileDeleteA(
  unsigned long ProfileNameSyntax,
  RPC_CSTR      ProfileName
);

Parameters

ProfileNameSyntax

Integer value indicating the syntax of the next parameter, ProfileName.

To use the syntax specified in the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\NameService\DefaultSyntax, provide a value of RPC_C_NS_SYNTAX_DEFAULT.

Pointer to the name of the profile to delete.

Remarks

The RpcNsProfileDelete function deletes the profile attribute from the specified name-service entry (ProfileName). Neither ProfileName nor the entry names included as members in each profile element are deleted.

Note  Use RpcNsProfileDelete cautiously; deleting a profile can have the unwanted effect of breaking a hierarchy of profiles.
 
Note  This DCE function is not supported by Microsoft Locator. Windows NT and Windows 2000 support the use of this function with Cell Directory Service (CDS) only.
 

Note

The rpcnsi.h header defines RpcNsProfileDelete as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
