How to list computer shares with Powershell and WMI
31 December,2019 by Tom Collins
Question: How can I list shares from a server using Powershell and WMI ? I've been tasked with auditing servers and identifying shares which are not authrorized
Answer: The two main methods I use are 1) Get-Smbshare and 2) get-WmiObject -class Win32_Share.
Get-Smbshare examples
--list all SMB shares on a server
Get-Smbshare
--list all SMB shares on a specific server
Get-Smbshare -CimSession "my_server_name
get-WmiObject -class Win32_Share examples
--list all share on the current server
get-WmiObject -class Win32_Share
--list all shares on a remote server
get-WmiObject -class Win32_Share -computer my_computer
