From: francois on 29 Jan 2010 15:39 Hi everybody, I would like to create a function in vbs like this : --------------------------------------- createFolder(path, rights, share, shareName) where : * "path" is a local path (ok) or a UNC path like \\PC\share (here is the problem) * "right" is a string which sets the NTFS rights * "share" is boolean (True or False). If it is True the folder is shared, if not the folder is not shared. * "shareName" is the name of the share (if the folder is shared) --------------------------------------- My problem is when the path is a UNC path. If it's a local path, I can make my script with the .Run method and "cacls" and "net share" commands. But if "path" is a UNC path, it doesn't work because : * "cacls \\SRV\d$\Myfolder ....." * "net share shareName="\\SRV\d$\Myfolder" /UNLIMITED" do not seem to work. These commands need a local path, I assume. How can we do to solve the problem? I add that I want to use the script as the domain administrator. Thanks in advance -- Fran�ois Lafont

If the sharename parameter is a string, then share the folder using that name. If it is a boolean like "false", then don't share. > My problem is when the path is a UNC path.

These commands need a local path, I assume. CACLS doesn't need a local path, it just needs you to be an admin on "SRV", which, as domain admin, you should be. If you have that right, then perhaps there is something wrong with the other parameters in your cacls command. net share does need a local (not mapped) path, but, on what computer do you want to create the share? It should be on the computer on which the folder is local. try doing it this way: net share \\SRV shareName="d:\Myfolder" /UNLIMITED also note that "sharename" should not be literal, but be replaced by the desired name of the share you want to create. /Al > How can we do to solve the problem?
