Vista - Setting share permissions from PowerShell?

12-05-2008

Is there any simple way to modify share-level permissions in Windows
Server 2008 from within PowerShell? Please note I need to modify
share-level permissions, not the file system permissions, and I can't
use an external binary (like subinacl, rmtshare, setacl) to do it unless
that binary ships by default with Windows Server 2008.

I've found a handful of very old pre-1.0 PowerShell/Monad scripts that
claim to handle this using WMI, but they don't seem to work and my WMI
knowledge isn't sophisticated enough to handle this.

You can check this script at my former blog:
http://translate.google.com/translat...-8&sl=ru&tl=en

so, there is one error in line:
$ShareInfo += $ShareInfoNew
_ShareUtils_WriteShare $ShareInfoOld $shares

replace with:
$ShareInfo += $ShareInfoNew
_ShareUtils_WriteShare $ShareInfo $shares

russian)
and there is full share management with PowerShell (not the best, but this
is my first script with SecurityDescriptor)

To add share permission use example:
add-sharepermission "existing share name" everyone allow Change

for additional script support e-mail me to vpodans [at] sysadmins.lv
