Remarks

The RpcNsProfileEltRemove function removes a profile element from the profile attribute in the ProfileName entry. This function requires an exact match of the MemberName and IfId parameters to remove a profile element. The entry (MemberName), included as a member in the profile element, is not deleted.

Note  Use RpcNsProfileEltRemove cautiously: removing elements from a profile can have the unwanted effect of breaking a hierarchy of profiles.
 
Note  Windows 2000 Active Directory supports this function. Earlier versions of Windows NT support the use of this function with Cell Directory Service (CDS) only.
 

Note

The rpcnsi.h header defines RpcNsProfileEltRemove as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
