Active Directory creating share problem

[darkleton]

OK I have AutoIT creating an active directory share, that all works fine.

The problem is with these two lines:

Const $MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 25
$errReturn = $objNewShare.Create ("C:\Shares\" & $username, $username, $FILE_SHARE, $MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS, "Public share for" & $username)

It creates the share with 25 max connections. According to Microsofts help pages, if I remove the constant line and just leave the value blank it should add unlimited connections. I've tried commenting out the constant line and changing $MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS on the second line to "" but it then adds 1 connection instead.

I don't know what to do to get it as unlimited connections.

It's not a major issue, I can just up it to say 50 connections but it's just bugging me.

Any help would be much appreciated

I don't see any example in TechNet actually showing how it looks in VBS to leave a parameter blank. One assumes "" should work, but I know VBS has some alternate versions of NUL characters. Try it completely with -1:

Const $MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = -1
$errReturn = $objNewShare.Create ("C:\Shares\" & $username, $username, $FILE_SHARE, $MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS, "Public share for" & $username)

Thanks for that, I don't know why I didn't even think of using -1, I was using 0 or "" all the time!!

Thanks again
