Construct a Share on a remote server?

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Is there any way to do this in FB5? I've gone through all the tasks and I can see how to do it on my local PC, but nothing on how to establish a shared folder on a remote server.

I'd be happy with the default security inherited from the parent folder but if there's also a way to update the security on the folder that would be even better...

Hi Richard,

I don’t think there’s an easy way to do this built-in to FinalBuilder.

However, here’s a Scripting Guy article about using WMI to create a remote share:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/jan05/hey0107.mspx

You should be able to cut-and-paste that script into a FinalBuilder Run Script action. I’ll add a dedicated action to our to-do list.

Regards,

Angus
