NetShareSetInfo() Program Example

 

This function sets the parameters of a shared resource. If 503 is specified for the level parameter, the remote server specified in the shi503_servername member of the SHARE_INFO_503 structure must have been bound to a transport protocol using the NetServerTransportAddEx() function. In the call to NetServerTransportAddEx(), either 2 or 3 must have been specified for the level parameter, and the SVTI2_SCOPED_NAME flag must have been specified in the SERVER_TRANSPORT_INFO_2 structure for the transport protocol. The following code sample demonstrates how to set the comment associated with a shared resource using a call to the NetShareSetInfo() function. To do this, the sample specifies information level 1004 (SHARE_INFO_1004).

Create a new empty Win32 console application project. Give the project name and change the project location is needed.

 

 

 

Then, add the source file and give it a suitable name.

 

 

Then, add the following source code.

 

#include <windows.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <lm.h>

 

#pragma comment(lib, Netapi32.lib)

 

int wmain(int argc, WCHAR *argv[])

{

   SHARE_INFO_1004 p;

   NET_API_STATUS res;

   DWORD parm_err = 0;

 

   if(argc<4)

   {

         wprintf(LUsage: %s server share \remark\\n, argv[0]);

         wprintf(LExample: %s BigdotServer mysharefolder \This shared folder contains virus!\\n, argv[0]);

   }

   else

   {

      // Fill in SHARE_INFO_1004 structure member.

      p.shi1004_remark=argv[3];

      // Call the NetShareSetInfo() function,

      //  specifying information level 1004.

      res=NetShareSetInfo(argv[1], argv[2], 1004, (LPBYTE)&p, &parm_err);

      // Display the result of the call.

      if(res==0)

        {

              wprintf(LNetShareSetInfo() is OK!\n);

              wprintf(LShare remark was set successfully!\n);

        }

      else

        {

              wprintf(LNetShareSetInfo() failed! Error: %u\tparmerr = %u\n, res, parm_err);

        }

   }

   return 0;

}

 

We will set or change the share Comment for the shared folder.

 

 

Build and run the project. The following screenshot is a sample output.

 

 

Verify our previous action.
