Disable a file share
Hi,
I would like to temporarily disable a file share. Users at workstations connect to a file share and open a file. This connection needs to be closed before a nightly job runs. So, I would like to run a scheduled job to disable/re-enable the share. (I don't what to lose the security privelages that are associated with the share, or I'd like to easily reset them...)
Net Share ???

Any particular reason you're using share level permissions?
If you forget about share level permissions and stick to NTFS permissions, you won't have problems.
What about restarting the workstation service? I think that will drop all the connections to the server, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Server Service.

I hadn't checked, but we were not using share permissions, so I was able to use net share /delete. Then for good measure, I used the NET SESSION /D to get rid of any locks. For auditing purposes, I used NET FILE which lists everyone connected...
Glad we could help you out mate :D
