Recreate File Shares

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.file_system (More info?)

I'm trying to write a script that will recreate the file shares on a file
server i rebuilt. All the sharenames, sharepaths, descriptions are in a CSV
file.

I will use the WMI to create the shares, i just need to know the best way to
parse the CSV file to create my variables to let the WMI do its thing.
Sample of CSV file below

D:\Share1,Finance,0,,Finance Share
D:\Share2,HR,0,,Human Resources Share
D:\Share3\test,ShareName,0,10,Other Share


What is the best way to parse this?

hi

there is only one way to share the folders

there is a registry key lanmanserver in

HKLMsystemCCSserviceslanmanservershare

which holds the information of all the shaares on the server

if you want to share some folders automatically you will have to look
at that registry key for other shares and create the same registry key
for other folders so that they will be automatically shared after
rebooting the sever.

and you have the backup of old registry you can restore that registry
to have all the shares back

You may be able to use the same method we have here....

net share d$=c:\downloads /Cache:None /Users:1

It looks like you have some other variables. Check the documentation on
then the share command for more info.
