A share is a way to make resources, such as files or printers, available to other users on the network. Each share has a share name that refers to a shared folder on the server. DRA manages the shares only on the computers in the managed domains. To successfully manage shares, the access account must have administrator permissions, such as being a member of the local Administrators group, on all computers where you want to manage resources. To assign these permissions, add the access account to the native Domain Admins group in the domain of the computer.
You can manage properties for shares in the managed domain or managed subtree. DRA lets you manage shares while managing other resources for that computer.
You can create a share for a computer in the managed domain or managed subtree. You can also modify properties for this share.
You can clone a share for a computer in the managed domain or managed subtree. By cloning a share, you can quickly create shares based on other shares with similar properties. This flexibility lets you enforce consistent settings for all shares you create in a given domain.
When you clone a share, DRA populates the Clone Share Wizard with values from the selected share. You can also modify properties for the new share.
You can delete shares from computers in the managed domain or managed subtree.
