Remarks

The IProfAdmin::RenameProfile method assigns a new name to a profile, if it has one. If the profile to rename is in use by a client when RenameProfile is called, RenameProfile marks the profile and returns S_OK instead of attempting the rename operation while the profile is in use. When the profile is no longer being used, RenameProfile assigns it the new name.

The old and new names of the profile can be up to 64 characters in length and can include the following characters:

  • All alphanumeric characters, including accent characters and the underscore character.

  • Embedded spaces, but not leading or trailing spaces.

The lpszPassword should always be NULL or a pointer to a zero-length string.
