Strange folder sharing error on Windows 2008 R2
Hi,
Ok I have a strange anomoly which I am hoping to get a specific explination for.
If I do the following steps:
Create a directory C:\MOE
Share that directory as MOE
Create a sub folder under C:\MOE called Test1
Then I change the permissions on C:\MOE\Test1, say grant a user Full Control.
Then I try to delete the folder (Test1) in explorer I get the following message:
-------------------------- ---------- ---------- --
Sharing
This folder is shared with other people
If you delete this folder, it will no longer be shared.
Folder: C:\MOE\Test1
Share Name: Test1
-------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --
So my questions are why does this error come up if Test1 is not specifically shared. In fact,
if I do a net share then I don't see it listed. (The issue seems to appear once I set
the permissions, if I never change it I don't get the error).
I have made a little batch file that can reproduce the problem. So people can try it out.
So I am looking for
1: A good techincal explination on why this happens.
2. Is there a difference between the shares that appear in the "Network Folder Sharing" and
the dialog below. It seems I can have a share "shared" in the top part but not the bottom while having the Advanced sharing part blank.

net share MOE /delete
rd C:\MOE /s /q
md C:\MOE
net share MOE=C:\MOE
md "C:\MOE\Test1"
icacls.exe "C:\MOE\Test1" /grant "ENT\User1:(OI)(CI)(F)"
Not too sure... Strange config somewhere. My 2008 R2 server works as designed, Test1 was able to be deleted.. Although your script line 6 failed. I set the permissions with the GUI and then deleted the folder.
