Why network administrators use Shares Manager

Shares Manager provides capabilities that Windows does not offer directly, such as editing the actual share name and local path. It also allows bulk operations that would otherwise require repetitive manual work.

Bulk Share Creation

You can generate shares automatically from directory structures. For example, given the following folders:

	D:
		Users
		JoeBloggs
		JohnSmith
		Freddie

Shares Manager can create shares for each directory and automatically assign permissions such as:

• Domain Admins
• The directory name (for example, JoeBloggs)

This makes it ideal for provisioning home directories or departmental shares.

Copy Shares Between Servers

Shares Manager can copy all shares from one server to another, including:

• Share names
• Paths
• Comments
• Maximum users
• Security settings

If the destination server uses different folder paths, you can specify a new base path during the copy process. This is especially useful when migrating to new servers.

Note: The destination directories must already exist before copying shares. For copying files and permissions, see FileSystem Utilities.
