Performs a syntactical mapping at the client without
transferring over the network. The only syntactic mapping supported
is from DS_FQDN_1779_NAME
to DS_CANONICAL_NAME or
DS_CANONICAL_NAME_EX.
DsCrackNames returns the
DS_NAME_ERROR_NO_SYNTACTICAL_MAPPING flag if a syntactical mapping
is not possible.
DS_NAME_FLAG_EVAL_AT_DC
Forces a trip to the domain controller for evaluation, even if
the syntax could be cracked locally.
DS_NAME_FLAG_GCVERIFY
The call fails if the domain controller is not a global catalog
server.
DS_NAME_FLAG_TRUST_REFERRAL
Enables cross forest trust referral.
