SUMMARY

It is possible to delete your own user account with the NetUserDel() API, if you are logged on with administrative privilege. The API will delete the account but returns errors. These errors differ, depending on whether you are accessing the server locally or remotely.

On a local server, NetUserDel() returns error code 5, "access denied," as NetUserDel() attempts to call NetSessionEnum() and NetSessionDel().

On a remote computer, NetUserDel() returns ERROR_VC_DISCONNECTED (240).

This is expected behavior, and will not be changed.
