NetQueryDisplayInformation(...) passing level 2 for NET_DISPLAY_MACHINE and null for the local computer name. You can look it up on msdn.microsoft.com

if I understand what you want correctly.

there may be an active directory equiv also.

If this is what you're looking for,
I think MinPasswordLength is a server object's property
that specifies the minimum allowable password length
if (str.size()<MinPasswordLength(MySir)){
std::cout<<"Short Password"<<std::endl;
MySir = YourSir;
}
and the other one, I don't know　:)
