NetServerGetInfo returns an invalid result

[lgx171]

The following code gives

• 1707 under Virtual Box (OS=Windows Server 2008 R2 x64)
• 53 on a real Windows Server 7 x64 (Host)

when the server name provided does not exist.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h> 
#include <lm.h>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    NET_API_STATUS nStatus;
    SERVER_INFO_101 Buf;
    nStatus = NetServerGetInfo ( L"UNKNOWNSERVER", 101, (LPBYTE *)&Buf );
    printf ( "%d\n", nStatus );
    return 0;
}

That's definitely not a blocker. It is even not clear if this is a bug in VirtualBox at all as this could be also due to a different networking configuration.

Without the VirtualBox additions, this works as expected This blocks (for example) the setup of SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows 2008 R2 Clusters

The observation about the Guest Additions is interesting because AFAIK they don't mess with the network setup.

In Windows XP 32 bit guest the code gives 53. May be the problem only happens with some Windows versions. Please attach VBox.log of the session where you run the test program and get 1707.
