Target OS: Win2003 As posted in other SO questions about file operation atomicity, Win32 was simply not designed for transactions. Still I wonder whether file deletion could be non-atomic. After all, it is either get deleted or not. Or can a file remain in any other intermediate state on NTFS file system caused by a system crash or som...
I have recently heard of Functional Testing over Unit Testing. I understand that Unit Testing tests each of the possibilities of a given piece of code from its most atomic form.

I was using the APIs NetUserAdd and NetUserSetGroups to add a user account and associate it with a group to a computer. Not much later I found an example capable of doing the same thing (adding a user, associating him with a group) using System.DirectoryServices namespace and DirectoryEntry object. Now I need to add policies to that ne...
