Shared Folders Help

[graeme g]

Hi

I had to recently rebuild one of our servers, the previous person who
installed it setup numerous shares. I have recreated all the shares
except one... It is a share of shares... e.g.

\\SERVER1\SharedFolder1
\\SERVER1\SharedFolder2
\\SERVER1\SharedFolder3
\\SERVER1\SharedFolder4
\\SERVER1\SharedFolders\SharedFolder1
\\SERVER1\SharedFolders\SharedFolder2
\\SERVER1\SharedFolders\SharedFolder3
\\SERVER1\SharedFolders\SharedFolder4

I think you get the idea, the purpose of doing this is so that all the
shares on the server could be mapped to a single drive... Now my problem
is how do I make the share of shares??? I've looked on this and that,
played around with this and that but to no avail!!! Any help appreciated...

Thanks

Graeme

Presumably your shares reside in folders like so:
d:\Shares\SharedFolder1
d:\Shares\SharedFolder2
d:\Shares\\SharedFolder3
d:\Shares\SharedFolder4
d:\Shares\SharedFolders\SharedFolder1
d:\Shares\SharedFolders\SharedFolder2
d:\Shares\SharedFolders\SharedFolder3
d:\Dhares\SharedFolders\SharedFolder4

If so then your task is easy:
net share Shares=d:\Shares

oh no its different e.g.

c:\sharedfolder1
c:\sharedfolder2
d:\sharedfolder3
d:\sharedfolder4

and thus i want

\\computer\sharedfolder1
\\computer\sharedfolder2
\\computer\sharedfolder3
\\computer\sharedfolder4
\\computer\shares\sharedfolder1
\\computer\shares\sharedfolder2
\\computer\shares\sharedfolder3
\\computer\shares\sharedfolder4

so the actual shares come from different drives!!!

I don't think you can do it in this case. On the other hand
I wonder about the wisdom of keeping shares on drive C:.
IMHO, the OS and the apps should be on drive C: and
all data on drive D:.

c: was just an example they are actually on f: and g: two separate scsi
arrays

the share was setup and working before the server crashed... i guess
i'll have to look into it further...

thanks for your help though

If they are on separate data disks other than the system disk then
you can to mount drive G: in a folder of drive F: like so:

mountvol F:\Shares\DriveG \\?\Volume{9eeb2179-cf82-11d9-8129-00061bdefdfc}\

hi

thanks for your help, i actually found linkd was the program i needed to
use, but the mountvol definitely put me in the right direction.

thanks
