Bob Wya Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hi This question concerns the Auto3Lib extension for network share management and also some problems I have with file permission control under Windows which is tres wierd compared to Linux or Unix systems...!! I have a Visual Basic script that I had previously been using to set up the network shares for my server... However this would not change the state of the READ or READ/WRITE access flag that all file shares have and so I had to do this manually... When I run the NetworkShare Enum examples in the Auto3Lib library all the share permissions on my server come back as 0 (I login as admin)... NB it does not matter whether the are hidden admin shares or visible ones I have added... I am somewhat confused??!! So how do I control the basic read/write permisions and can I set the other permission types...?? Everything else in the sub-library for netshare management is great and should be really useful for writing a GUI Share manager (which I have always wanted really - control freak!!) I am running the scripts under Windows XP 64bit edition if that is significant... Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I don't know if there are 64-bit issues with it, but I have used SetACL.exe for setting all kinds of permissions from my scripts, including CIFS Shares.

Bob Wya Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 I don't know if there are 64-bit issues with it, but I have used SetACL.exe for setting all kinds of permissions from my scripts, including CIFS Shares. I've had a look at this and it looks really useful especially as it is CLI based!!I am still trying to get my head around the various issues I have with windows file permission!! I'll have a look through the MS Resource Kit book to see if I can get my head around this topic again!!I am wondering though why does the AutoLib3 permissions for a (local machine) network share always return 0? That would imply that nobody could access it?? Surely the administrator user can access his own network shares - right?Thanks for your help!!Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
