How To Enumerate File Shares On A Remote Windows Computer With PowerShell

It can be challenging at times to keep track of just what file shares have been set up in your environment. This becomes even more difficult if you have to track this information across multiple servers. Adding to the tedium is remotely connecting to each server to find the list the shares. Thankfully, using PowerShell makes this task a snap, whether you need to enumerate shares on just one server, or many.

In this video, David will demonstrate how to use Get-SmbShare to quickly list file shares on a server, and how to use this cmdlet to extract different types of information about these shares.

Prerequisites include:
PowerShell Remoting enabled on all remote servers
Windows Server 2016 installed on the following servers:
