i need to create a new shared folder on a remote server and then change the share permission for everybody to FullAccess. i cant figure it out after a whole day of fooling around.
i am able to use the new-item cmdlet to create the folder.
the new-smbshare is giving me the error below.
$Username = Test
## Name and Path for Personal drive folder
$ComputerName = "contoso"
$DriveLetter = "H"
$Path = "Users"
New-Item -Path \$ComputerName\DriveLetter$\Path\Username -type directory -Force
New-SmbShare -Name $Username -Path \$ComputerName\DriveLetter$\Path\Username -ReadAccess domain\Everyone
Here is the error
New-SmbShare : The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
At line:5 char:5

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I observed that a small error in above powershell command as below, one more $ was added. Other parameters are right.
In addition, would you like to change the share permission for everyone to full access? You need to change "ReadAccess" to "FullAccess" in the command.
Hope this helps, if you have any question or concern, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi,
Sorry, I made a mistake. The command was right, but it seems to be infeasible. We cannot create a share on a mapped drive or on a remote system with the SMB tools. Please refer to the thread discussed the similar situation,
