Manage File and Printer shares, local or on a remote server.
Although missing from recent Resource kits, the old version appears to work fine
under Windows XP/2003.
Syntax Display all shares RMTSHARE \\server Display details of a specific share RMTSHARE \\server\sharename Share a Folder RMTSHARE \\server\sharename=drive:path [options] Share a Printer RMTSHARE \\server\sharename=printername /PRINTER [options] Edit an existing SHARE RMTSHARE \\server\sharename [options] Delete a SHARE RMTSHARE \\server\sharename /DELETE Options /USERS:number /UNLIMITED /REMARK:"text" /GRANT user:perm /REMOVE user
Notes:
Either specify /Users to restrict the number of connections that can be made
OR specify /UNLIMITED
You can include several /GRANTs in a single command line.
Enclose paths that include spaces like this
\\server\"long share name"="c:\long file name"
An alternative way to list remote shares with PowerShell:
# List the file shares on the remote server: SERVER64. $shares = Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Share -computername SERVER64 -filter "Type=0" $shares | foreach { $path=($_.path) $Description=($_.Description) $name=($_.name) $Caption=($_.Caption) "Share Name : $name Source Folder: $path Description : $Description Caption : $Caption" }
