Re: Need script to create shares and assign securities

I currently have the folders for new users residing on a server but need to create the shares, assign the new users rights to their home directories, and remove "everyone" from them. I used a script to create the users and it created the folders in the proper location but not the shares. I need to have this call up a list from a .txt file. If somewone can help me out or point me to one I would certainly appreciate it. 
Hi,

Some options:

A)
Use RMTShare.exe:

Sadly, Microsoft's ftp server is gone (where RMTShare.exe was previously
available for download), but a copy is to be found here (I did a binary
compare with the RMTShare.exe that previously available on the FTP
server, and it is the same file):

Take a look here for a vbscript that creates a share and sets
share rights with RMTShare.exe:

And:

Q. How can I modify share permissions from the command line?

B)
WMI (from e.g. VBScript)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/create_method_in_class_win32_share.asp?frame=true

For some examples:

See "Create a Network Share" and "Modify a Network Share" here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/storage/shares/default.mspx

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript/msg/aed18f4e3a968dea

You can set the security descriptor for the shares with WMI as well..

SetSecurityDescriptor
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/setsecuritydescriptor_method_in_class_win32_logicalsharesecuritysetting.asp

Here is a couple of examples on the SetSecurityDescriptor method in Class
Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting (disregard that they use
wbemscripting.swbemlocator instead of winmgmts:, the rest will be the same):
