PowerShell Get List Of Folders Shared

Try this:

get-WmiObject -class Win32_Share -computer dc1.krypted.com

Ref: List Shares in Windows w/ PowerShell

There's only one way of enumerating shares remotely from the command line that I know of, and thats with net view:

C:\Users\mark.henderson>net view \\enetsqnap01
Shared resources at \\enetsqnap01



Share name             Type  Used as  Comment

This is not particularly parsable on its own, but, you can throw it into an array to process the data line by line:

$sharedFolders = (NET.EXE VIEW \\enetsqnap01) 

You now have an array, and starting at $sharedFolders[7] you have your shares. You could then split on something like a double space - unlikely to appear in a share name itself, and should work unless your share name is very long, only leaving a single space between the share name and the type field:

$sharedFolders[7].split('  ')[0]
Backups

You could process these by using a ForEach and some conditional logic. It wouldn't be perfect, but it should work for most use cases.

For brevity, to just output the filenames to the console:

(net view \\enetsqnap01) | % { if($_.IndexOf(' Disk ') -gt 0){ $_.Split('  ')[0] } }

If you want to find the shares of the local machine you can just do Get-SmbShare:

> Get-SmbShare
