DeviceIoControl fail in windows server 2003

NTDEV
1

hi ALL,
my app works fine in XP. but it didn’t work in windows server 2003
standard edition sp2.
I used setupAPI to scan bus to createFile and send handles to
DeviceIoControl.

status = DeviceIoControl(hDriveHandle,
IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA,
NULL,
0,
buffer,
sizeof(buffer),
&returned,
NULL);

I used admin to login this 2003 server, after running this it returned
1 meaning ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION.
some tips I googled didn’t apply my case.
can anybody help?
Thanks in advance
Fred

Do you mean the variable ‘status’ in the code below is 1? DeviceIoControl
returns BOOL so this indicates that the API succeeded.

Not sure if this IOCTL is obsolete in Win 2K3 SP2 (I remember it works
on 2K3 SP1). Anyway, you can try IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY.

Thank all.
I rolled back to 2003 SP1.
now I use port driver “scsiN:” which succeeded in IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA. but when I sent scsi commands such as “TEST UNIT READY” CDB over pass through IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT . it returned error, last error is 1 and no sense code returned.
My device is blueRay driver.
wonder why it didn’t work in pass through?

Use \.\E: and not \.\Scsi3

Send SCSIOP_INQUIRY via passthrough instead of IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA.

Thanks. it works by sending CDB to inquiry devices found by setupAPI.
