thanks, I'm trying to share a folder which is on a serves hdd so I need to access it by going to \\srv-001\e$\folder - and it's giving me an error - System error 123 has occurred. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

try with rmtshare if you want command line, or use a remote manage and click on the shares if you want to do it by the gui

If youre looking to share the folder named folder from the e drive on server srv-001, use server manager to connect to srv-001 and share from there.

I suggest you ask this question in the Microsoft Script Forum for further discussion. The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Are you creating a share in remote machine or in location machine.? If you use local machine just choose a path E:\folder instead of UNC path \\srv-001\e$\folder. Regards, Ravikumar P

By using net share command, we can't create share in remote machine rather we can go for another commands/scripts.
