Remarks

The RpcNsMgmtEntryCreate function creates an entry in the name-service database. A management application can call RpcNsMgmtEntryCreate to create a name service–database entry for use by another application that does not itself have the necessary name service–database privileges to create an entry.

Note  Windows 2000 Active Directory supports this function. Earlier versions of Windows NT support the use of this function with Cell Directory Service (CDS) only.
 

Note

The rpcnsi.h header defines RpcNsMgmtEntryCreate 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.
