| Publish shared folders with a script |
| When you're using Active Directory on your network, you can publish all shared folders in the |
| directory. This allows users to browse Active Directory instead of the old browser service. |
| You can use the Active Directory Users And Computers console to publish the shared folder in the |
| Simply open the console and expand the OU or domain where you want to publish the share. |
| On the Action menu, select New and then click the Shared Folder. |
| Type the name you want to give to the share, type the network path to the share, and click OK. |
| You can also write your own scripts, which can do this automatically for you. |
| The hardest thing to do is to start from nothing. You'll get the idea much faster with a sample |
| script taken from Microsoft's Web site: |
| Set objComputer = GetObject ("LDAP://OU=Finance, DC=fabrikam, |
| Set objShare = objComputer.Create("volume", "CN=FinanceShare") |
| objShare.Put "uNCName", "\\atl-dc-02\FinanceShare" |
| objShare.Put "Description", "Public share for users in the |
| objShare.Put "Keywords", Array("finance", "fiscal", "monetary") |
| This script will publish the folder share as \\atl-dc-02\FinanceShare in the fabrikam.com > domain |
| under the Finance Organizational Unit in Active Directory as FinanceShare. |
