I use this

Invoke-Expression -Command ('net share "Transport=E:\Transport" "/grant:Everyone,FULL"')

Hi all,

I totally agree with that practice Mekac, and given what the OP posted, I'd say his problem is with the NTFS part. Some shameless advertisement regarding the NTFS permissions:

Those will make creating and adding the rule more Powershell-y :)

Cheers,
Fred

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

That works fine for me. What operating system are you running this command on? If I remember correctly, that /GRANT option wasn't added to "net share" until Server 2008 / Vista.

Good Point - This got to my mind because NTFS is more in depth.

Well,
my best practice is set share permissions for Everyone::full and restrict access on NTFS.

I dont know if the OP knows the difference between them .. so your post might be helpfull as well :)
