System requirments to using PowerShell's New-SmbShare cmdlet?

Question

_{Tuesday, February 18, 2014 8:38 PM}

Can anyone tell me if there are system requirments to using PowerShell's New-SmbShare cmdlet?  I'm trying to create a script that will create the folder, create the share, create groups based on the share name, and assign the appropriate NTFS persmissions and share permissions.  When I try to run New-SmbShare on my Windows 8, I get the following error:

New-SmbShare : Access is denied. 
At line:1 char:1
+ New-SmbShare -Name ISOs -Path C:\Shares\ISOs -FolderEnumerationMode AccessBased  ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (MSFT_SMBShare:ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/SMB/MSFT_SMBShare) [New-SmbShare], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Windows System Error 5,New-SmbShare

I'm an administrator on the laptop, and local Administrators have Full Control at the NTFS level.

Thanks!

Have you tried opening powershell as admin? So I believe in Windows 8 (Haven't used it too much), right click and choose run as administrator, then try running it again.

Not elevating your shell or the ISE was my first thought, as well. Right-click and Run as administrator. Here's an example of me trying the same command in a non-elevated shell and an elevated shell (see 'Administrator' in title bar).

That did it.  Thanks!
