Import user list.txt file & net share command.

[msidhom]

Hi all, I'm new to scripting and I was wondering if anyone can help me out.

We have a number of Windows that are running out of space and I would like to move the users home folder which are shard as (username$) don't ask me why before my time. I have done this with a long batch file and I think using a VB script would be the smart way to go.

Task

1. Using the dos command (net share username$ /del) stop all the current user shares by import a userslist.txt file (which will contain a list of all the users).
2. Robocopy the user folder to new location (will do this manually).
3. Using the command (net share username$=d:\users\username) to recreate the shares by also utilizing the userslist.txt file.

Thank you very much in advanced for you help with this

You can use VBScript but it will end up running the net commands in a shell so you'd actually be better off using DOS.

Tips:
1) DOS commands on NT/2K/XP are more advanced than the ones on 95/98/ME
2) if statements can go over several lines: use ( and ) to group them.
3) help on all commands can be obtained with /?
4) all the subroutines can be created locally. To call put a : before the routine name. To return goto :EOF
