Need help on create a batch file

Hi everyone,

I have a lab practices about using scripts that I need help on.

Contoso has 20 seperate locations in the United States, and each location is being equipped with a new file server. The file servers are going to have six shared folders, which will have the same names regardless of location. You need to create a batch file that automatically creates these six shares. Once the shares are created, on-site technicians will set the permissions manually according to their needs.

To complete thsi lab challenge, do the following:

1. Write a batch file named SharedFolders.bat that uses the Net Share command to share the following folders. The share name and folder name should be the same, and the folders should be located in C:\Standard Shares\
- Financial
- Marketing
- Support
- Miscellaneous
- Legal
- Customer Support

2. Run the batch file
3. Verify that your partnet has successfully run the batch file by accessing the shared folders on your partner's computer from a Run dialog box

This is from Microsoft Windows XP Pro lab manual, I've never did batch file before. I would like some help on it.

Thanks.

I wrote this and its work, first it work for the 6-subfolder inside "Standard Shares" but it doesn't work on Standard Shares. After awhile, I delete the batch file and create a new batch file and it work for all 7-folders.

cd\
md "C:\Standard Shares"
cd "Standard Shares"
md Financial
md Marketing
md Support
md Miscellaneous
md Legal
md "Customer Support"
cd\
net share "Standard Shares"="C:\Standard Shares"
net share Financial="C:\Standard Shares\Financial"
net share Marketing="C:\Standard Shares\Marketing"
net share Support="C:\Standard Shares\Support"
net share Miscellaneous="C:\Standard Shares\Miscellaneous"
net share Legal="C:\Standard Shares\Legal"
net share "Customer Support"="C:\Standard Shares\Customer Support"
cd\

thx,

Really? That works... WOW. And who deleted my previous post?

Ok, I might be misunderstanding your issue here. Are you saying that the subfolders inside 'C:\Standard Shares' are shared properly, but that the 'Standard Shares' share is not working? [I might have just confused myself further with this post! :D]

Either way, welcome to AO! :drink:

net share "Standard Shares"="C:\Standard Shares"

Syntax is incorrect and command is incomplete

I was being a smart ass... The bat file above does not share the folders.

the "Standard Shares" does not share when I first created, the folder shared when I edit

cd\
md "C:\Standard Shares"
cd Standard Shares" (leave the open quote out)
md Financial
...

and the other way that I did was copy the whole thing to a new ".bat" and it work (on first attempt)

reduced to batches, nao? wtf? I don't even? EI rly brought this place down.

GIVE BACK TO JP...also, bring back snacks.
