I am afraid I don't know the answer - but your best bet is to try and 
find how to use this member from C++ or any other language.  This 
problem isn't directly related to Python, so you may have more hope 
asking in NT/2K specific forums, and pretending you are just using C++.

Mail me if you have trouble porting some C++ code known to work to Python.
