Vista - get permissions from share via wmi possible

Hi,

Is it possible to get permissions from a share via something like get-acl
and then apply it to another share? I am migrating a server which has a lot
of shares with various permissions. I started with:

gwmi win32_share -computername prodfile01 |sort path

thanks,

Well i found out you cant do it with get-acl

what i attempted was this

$test = get-acl \\machine\share
set-acl \\new\share $test

what it did was wipe out the security list of the share. it had no effect on
the share security.

so other than it didnt work AT ALL.. i learned that it still looks at the
file level security and not the share security, so even if you figured out
how to get it to copy correctly, it still isnt going to do share level
permissions.

and i wasnt able to find the security info in WMI so your SOL there as well.

it might be in WMI some place, i just cant locate it.

Justin,

What I finally did was used rmtshare to grab the share info which has the
perms, then I used PS to parse it and create "net share" commands to migrate
shares to our new server.
