Shares: Creating II
Posted by: Richard Siddaway
PowerShell v2, Shares
Now we have seen how to create a share lets extend the script a bit. This is how a lot of my scripts get developed. I need to solve a particular problem so I write a script to do that task. While I’m writing I try to see how I can make the script generic. Sometimes the script is written immediately to solve the generic problem and other times I have to solve the immediate problem and go back to the generic bit later.

function New-Share {
[CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$True)] param ( [string]$path, [string]$name, [int][ValidateRange(0,2)]$type, [int]$maxcon, [string]$desc ) $s = [WmiClass]"Win32_Share" $s.Create($path, $name, $type, $maxcon, $desc) } |
We take our earlier script and create a function. This forms part of my module for working with the file system.
I’m creating it as an advanced function so I can use the –whatif parameters later. The function takes a set of parameters and creates the share.
Its used like this
New-Share -path c:\share1 -name Test1 -type 0 -maxcon $null -desc "Test share 1 from module"
Next stage is to add the code to test the existence of the folder and to check that the share creates properly
