Getting error while using NetUserGetLocalGroups() API. I am using the API to check if the domain user exists in any group.

LPLOCALGROUP_USERS_INFO_0 pBuf = NULL;

DWORD dwLevel = 0;

DWORD dwFlags = LG_INCLUDE_INDIRECT ;

DWORD dwPrefMaxLen = MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH;

DWORD dwEntriesRead = 0;

DWORD dwTotalEntries = 0;

NET_API_STATUS nStatus;

BOOL bAdmin = FALSE;

// Call the NetUserGetLocalGroups function

// specifying information level 0.

// The LG_INCLUDE_INDIRECT flag specifies that the

// function should also return the names of the local

// groups in which the user is indirectly a member.

nStatus = NetUserGetLocalGroups(wszMachineName,

wszUser,

dwLevel,

dwFlags,

(LPBYTE *) &pBuf,

dwPrefMaxLen,

&dwEntriesRead,

&dwTotalEntries);

This call fails with System Error:1726

RPC_S_CALL_FAILED
