Dear fellow software engineers,

Im trying to link some example code from the MDSN website into my visual C++ project
and i get the following error. can you help?

Linking...
OLMECDlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl
CheckTokenMembership(void *,void *,int *)"
(?CheckTokenMembership@@YAHPAX0PAH@Z)
Debug/OLMEC.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

the example code i was using was as follows:

#include <winbase.h>
#include <windows.h>

extern BOOL CheckTokenMembership(HANDLE TokenHandle,PSID SidToCheck,PBOOL
IsMember);

/*++
Routine Description: This routine returns TRUE if the caller's process
is a member of the Administrators local group. Caller is NOT expected
to be impersonating anyone and is expected to be able to open its own
process and process token.
Arguments: None.
Return Value:
TRUE - Caller has Administrators local group.
FALSE - Caller does not have Administrators local group. --
*/
BOOL COLMECDlg::IsUserAdmin(VOID)
{
BOOL b;
SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY NtAuthority = SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY;
PSID AdministratorsGroup;

b = AllocateAndInitializeSid(
&NtAuthority,
2,
SECURITY_BUILTIN_DOMAIN_RID,
DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
&AdministratorsGroup);

if(b)
{
if (!CheckTokenMembership( NULL, AdministratorsGroup, &b))
{
b = FALSE;
}
FreeSid(AdministratorsGroup);
}

return(b);
}

Please note that I have also setup my linker to include advapi32.lib but
this still fails. What am i doing wrong or is there a mistake on the MSDN
webpage?
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/secauthz/s
ecurity/checktokenmembership.asp)

Has anyone used this function before,Can anyone help?

thanks,
Rainos
