Hi,

I am trying to create a remote share on a server that does not support WMI
(Netapp filer) using powershell.
So far I can create and delete shares but I am unable to set the share
permissions correctly !
Here is my test code

function delete-share {
param (
[string]$Server = $(Throw "you must specify a server"),
[string]$DeleteShare = $(Throw "deleteshare name is mandatory")
)
$ServerObj = [adsi] "WinNT://$Server/lanmanserver"
$ServerObj.delete("fileshare",$DeleteShare)
$dummy = [adsi] "WinNT://$Server/lanmanserver/$DeleteShare"
}



function create-share {
param (
[string]$Server = $(Throw "you must specify a server"),
[string]$NewShare = $(Throw "Newshare name is mandatory"),
[string]$Localpath,
[string]$Description
)

$ServerObj = [adsi] "WinNT://$Server/lanmanserver"
$newshareobj = $ServerObj.create("fileshare",$NewShare)
$newshareobj.put("path",$Localpath)
$newshareobj.put("Description",$Description)
$newshareobj.setinfo()
$dummy = [adsi] "WinNT://$Server/lanmanserver/$NewShare"
}

create-share "servername" "test$" "c:\WINDOWS"
delete-share "servername" "test$"

I can't find anything else that doesn't depend on WMI.

Now, I wonder... Can you:
1. Create the share with your scripts.
2. Mount it locally.
3. Copy a script to the share.
4. Run the script (and it makes the share perm changes).

This link indicates that these permissions are apparently also listed in
the registry:

Thx Marco for you fast reply.
But on these Netapp filers (NAS) you can not run any script to change the
share permissions.
I can create the share and set the permissions using the standard
"shrpubw.exe" 'Create a Shared folder wizard.' This EXE does not use WMI and
it is able to create set security on remote NAS devices

So you've find something that works for you?

Marco

You do this via the web interface on the NetApp or SSH. Those are your
options.

You can automate both of those with Powershell, but I think wrapping the EXE
would be faster and way less complicated.
