Returns ERROR_SUCCESS on success or an error code on failure. Unless only the primary computer name is requested, the buffer will be filled with a series of null-terminated strings followed by a final null terminator. To measure the required number of characters, not including the final null terminator, use a null buffer and a zero size. This function is similar to GetComputerNameEx, and delegates to it to obtain the primary computer name.
