I have a problem in Shared Folders

[netwalker1]

We have Windows 2000 Server with cluster mode ..
When we restart the server , the shared folders become unshared , and I must create the share again ..

Any Idea how can I solve this problem ?

To clarify, rebooting server casues folders to no longer be shared?

We are talking about shared folders and not mapped drives, yeah?

hmmm

Sorry not too sure then - if ever I have an issue similar to this i would add a startup script for the server to check folder status and share if not already shared.

'check if foldershare exists, delete if so


strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colShares = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Share Where Name = 'example'")
For Each objShare in colShares
    objShare.Delete
Next

'now share is removed add new

'permissions
Const FILE_SHARE = 0

'max connections
Const MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 25


strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")


Set objNewShare = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Share")



errReturn = objNewShare.Create _
    ("C:\PATH_TO_THE_FOLDER", "SHARE_NAME", FILE_SHARE, _
        MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS, "SHARE_COMMENT")

hth

Are you creating the shares using Cluster Manager?

 

[netwalker1]

No . I made them by Windows Explorer ..

[hartlen]

you can create the shared folder using Cluster Manager,that can resolve this problem.

 

[netwalker1]

This problem will not be resolved because the Shared folders are not only on the Shared resources ,, also the shared folders are located in the local partations of the servers ...
