I don’t see what could be wrong in your call. But I am right now on vacation and can’t access my code to double check my own call. I will do next week.

Is your code running with an account granted adequate rights to create a shared folder ?
And did you succeed to create the shared folder with that account using Windows Explorer?

[EDIT] Et voilà, back from holidays :(…
I have added in my post above a code sample based on what I am doing concretely.
There is a priori nothing wrong in your code.

I’m using a domain admin credential to create a folder share with read write access. I tried to use what you posted above but it comes back with access denied.
I may be doing something wrong – but I’m calling your code as such:
ManagementHelper.AddSharedFolder(@”p:\Archive05″,”Archive05″,”Archive”,(ManagementHelper.GetSecurityDescriptor(“Capitals”,”DGiles”,ManagementHelper.FolderAccessMask.WRITE_OWNER)));
I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,

David
