.NAME
SmbShare .DESCRIPTION The resource is used to manage SMB shares, and access permissions to SMB shares. ## Requirements ### Cluster Shares The property `ContinuouslyAvailable` can only be set to `$true` when the SMB share is a cluster share in a failover cluster. Also in the blog [SMB Transparent Failover ? making file shares continuously available](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/filecab/2016/03/25/smb-transparent-failover-making-file-shares-continuously-available-2) by [Claus Joergensen](https://github.com/clausjor) it is mentioned that SMB Transparent Failover does not support cluster disks with 8.3 name generation enabled. ### Access permissions It is not allowed to provide empty collections in the configuration for the access permissions parameters. The configuration below will cause an exception to be thrown. ```powershell SmbShare 'Integration_Test' { Name = 'TestShare' Path = 'C:\Temp' FullAccess = @() ChangeAccess = @() ReadAccess = @() NoAccess = @() } ``` The access permission parameters must either be all removed to manage the access permission manually, or add at least one member to one of the access permission parameters. If all the access permission parameters are removed, then by design, the cmdlet New-SmbShare will add the *Everyone* group with read access permission to the SMB share. To prevent that, add a member to either access permission parameters. .PARAMETER Name Key - String Specifies the name of the SMB share. .PARAMETER Path Required - String Specifies the path of the SMB share. .PARAMETER Description Write - String Specifies the description of the SMB share. .PARAMETER ChangeAccess Write - StringArray Specifies which accounts will be granted modify permission to access the SMB share. .PARAMETER ConcurrentUserLimit Write - UInt32 Specifies the maximum number of concurrently connected users that the new SMB share may accommodate. If this parameter is set to zero (0), then the number of users is unlimited. The default value is zero (0). .PARAMETER EncryptData Write - Boolean Indicates that the SMB share is encrypted. .PARAMETER FolderEnumerationMode Write - String Allowed values: AccessBased, Unrestricted Specifies which files and folders in the new SMB share are visible to users. .PARAMETER CachingMode Write - String Allowed values: None, Manual, Programs, Documents, BranchCache Specifies the caching mode of the offline files for the SMB share. .PARAMETER ContinuouslyAvailable Write - Boolean Specifies whether the SMB share should be continuously available. .PARAMETER FullAccess Write - StringArray Specifies which accounts are granted full permission to access the SMB share. .PARAMETER NoAccess Write - StringArray Specifies which accounts are denied access to the SMB share. .PARAMETER ReadAccess Write - StringArray Specifies which accounts is granted read permission to access the SMB share. .PARAMETER Ensure Write - String Allowed values: Present, Absent Specifies if the SMB share should be added or removed. .PARAMETER Force Write - Boolean Specifies if the SMB share is allowed to be dropped and recreated (required when the path changes). .PARAMETER ScopeName Write - String Specifies the scope in which the share should be created. .PARAMETER ShareState Read - String Specifies the state of the SMB share. .PARAMETER ShareType Read - String Specifies the type of the SMB share. .PARAMETER ShadowCopy Read - Boolean Specifies if this SMB share is a ShadowCopy. .PARAMETER Special Read - Boolean Specifies if this SMB share is a special share. E.g. an admin share, default shares, or IPC$ share. .EXAMPLE 1 This example creates an SMB share named 'Temp' for the path 'C:\Temp', using the default values of the cmdlet `New-SmbShare`. .NOTES To know the default values, see the documentation for the cmdlet `New-SmbShare`. Configuration SmbShare_CreateShare_Config { Import-DscResource -ModuleName ComputerManagementDsc Node localhost { SmbShare 'TempShare' { Name = 'Temp' Path = 'C:\Temp' } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This example creates an SMB share named 'Temp' for the path 'C:\Temp', using specific values for each supported property. .NOTES Any other property not yet s?pported will use the default values of the cmdlet `New-SmbShare`.To know the default values, see the documentation for the cmdlet `New-SmbShare`. Configuration SmbShare_CreateShareAllProperties_Config { Import-DscResource -ModuleName ComputerManagementDsc Node localhost { SmbShare 'TempShare' { Name = 'Temp' Path = 'C:\Temp' Description = 'Some description' ConcurrentUserLimit = 20 EncryptData = $false FolderEnumerationMode = 'AccessBased' CachingMode = 'Manual' ContinuouslyAvailable = $false FullAccess = @() ChangeAccess = @('AdminUser1') ReadAccess = @('Everyone') NoAccess = @('DeniedUser1') } } } .EXAMPLE 3 This example removes a SMB share named 'Temp'. .NOTES Path must be specified because it is a mandatory parameter, but it can be set to any value. Configuration SmbShare_RemoveShare_Config { Import-DscResource -ModuleName ComputerManagementDsc Node localhost { SmbShare 'TempShare' { Ensure = 'Absent' Name = 'Temp' Path = 'NotUsed' } } } .EXAMPLE 4 This example creates an SMB share named 'Share' for the path 'C:\Share1', using the default values of the cmdlet `New-SmbShare`. If the share already exists, it will drop the share and recreate it on the new path because Force is set to true. .NOTES To know the default values, see the documentation for the cmdlet `New-SmbShare`. Configuration SmbShare_RecreateShare_Config { Import-DscResource -ModuleName ComputerManagementDsc Node localhost { SmbShare 'RecreateShare' { Name = 'Share' Path = 'C:\Share1' Force = $true } } } |
