ChangeOwner method of the Win32_UserProfile class

Changes a user profile's owner.

Syntax

uint32 ChangeOwner(
  [in] string NewOwnerSID,
  [in] uint32 Flags
);

NewOwnerSID [in]

The new owner's security identifier (SID).

Flags [in]

Flag values that control what happens to the new owner's existing profile, if such a profile exists.

Flag value	Meaning
ReplaceNewOwnerProfile 0x00000001	If this flag is set and the new owner already has a profile, the new owner's existing profile will be replaced. If this flag is not set and the new owner already has a profile, the call to ChangeOwner will fail with `HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)`. If the new owner doesn't already have a profile, this flag has no effect.
DeleteReplacedProfile 0x00000002	If the ReplaceNewOwnerProfile flag is not set, this flag has no effect. Otherwise, if this flag is set and the new owner already has a profile, the new owner's existing profile will be deleted when it is replaced. If this flag is not set, the existing profile is replaced but not deleted. The replaced profile will not be enumerated, and no user will automatically use it.
