how to call WINAPI DsRoleGetPrimaryDomainInformation in delphi?

I am calling Windows API DsRoleGetPrimaryDomainInformation like shown in below code block. I want to get the Domain forest name and Domain DNS name. When I do ShowMessage for domain DNS name, it is just displaying "????" and for domain forest name it is displaying EmptyString. 

unit Unit1;

interface

uses
  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
  StdCtrls;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
    procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;


    DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_LEVEL = (
    DsRolePrimaryDomainInfoBasic,
    DsRoleUpgradeStatus,
    DsRoleOperationState);

  DSROLE_MACHINE_ROLE = (
    DsRole_RoleStandaloneWorkstation,
   DsRole_RoleMemberWorkstation,
  DsRole_RoleStandaloneServer,
  DsRole_RoleMemberServer,
  DsRole_RoleBackupDomainController,
  DsRole_RolePrimaryDomainController);

   PDSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC = ^DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC;
  DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC = record
    MachineRole: DSROLE_MACHINE_ROLE;
    Flags: ULONG; 
    DomainNameFlat: LPWSTR;
    DomainNameDns: LPWSTR;
    DomainForestName: LPWSTR;
    DomainGuid: TGUID;
  end;

  function DsRoleGetPrimaryDomainInformation(lpServer: LPCWSTR;
  InfoLevel: DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_LEVEL; var Buffer: DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC): DWORD; stdcall; external 'netapi32.dll';


var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}


procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  pBuffer : DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC;
begin
  if not DsRoleGetPrimaryDomainInformation(nil,DsRolePrimaryDomainInfoBasic,pBuffer) = ERROR_SUCCESS then
  begin
    ShowMessage('Something is wrong!');
    exit;
  end;
  ShowMessage(pBuffer.DomainNameDns );
  ShowMessage(pBuffer.DomainForestName);
end;

end.
Solution

  • According to the documentation the buffer is not an out parameter but a pointer.

    So 

      function DsRoleGetPrimaryDomainInformation(lpServer: LPCWSTR;
  InfoLevel: DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_LEVEL; var Buffer: DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC): DWORD; stdcall; external 'netapi32.dll';

    need to be changed to 

      function DsRoleGetPrimaryDomainInformation(lpServer: LPCWSTR;
  InfoLevel: DSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_LEVEL; Buffer: pDSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC): DWORD; stdcall; external 'netapi32.dll';

    Here is a unit with a complete implementation. Just tested in Delphi 6:

    unit DSRole;

{$WEAKPACKAGEUNIT}

{$HPPEMIT ''}
{$HPPEMIT '#include "dsrole.h"'}
{$HPPEMIT ''}

end.

    With this in hand you only need to call it: 

    uses
 DSRole;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  pBuffer : pDSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC;
begin
  pBuffer := new( pDSROLE_PRIMARY_DOMAIN_INFO_BASIC);
  Caption := BoolToStr(DsRoleGetPrimaryDomainInformation(nil,DsRolePrimaryDomainInfoBasic,pBuffer) = ERROR_SUCCESS, True);
  FreeMem(pBuffer);
end;
