Hi Kent,

I havent really looked into setting share permissions, but I suspect it may be able to be done through WMI. At some point while looking for other information, I remember seeing a share object with some acl functions within WMI.

hope this helps

Craig

Mr. Paterson,

I have posted questions to others in the IT Community using pieces of your code from - http://cwashington.netreach.net/script_repository/view_scripts.asp?Index=360&ScriptType=vbscript. The responses has been pretty amazing!

This initially started out as a post to update via WSH on our network with the following goal:
(1) Create a remote folder
(2) Set the share
(3) Set the perms

The WSH version is available from - http://www.oregonclassifieds.net/cgi-local/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=6&topic=4 and works great!

I have since ported it over to KIX - http://kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=002078

Do you have any ideas or suggestions to update Share Permissions? It seems that the file/folder permissions work well.


Thanks!

- Kent

Well.. It appears that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I know Shawn Spoke of RMTSHARE.EXE from the Resource Kit.
