Shared folder permission change

I have
share name - > AAaroshi$
Path - > \\SDLFS-V101\AAaroshi$
I want to change share permission of the user id AAaroshi to read only

I am using Server 2008 R2 and have PS Version 5 and 7

I try to do Install-Module -Name Find-SMBShare but I get error no match. How do I change the permission. Please help using PS V2 or PS V7

Windows Server 2008 R2 reached "end of life" in January of 2020! It includes Powershell version 3.0 shipped with Windows Server 2008 R2. But it's still pretty old!

Windows PowerShell V2? Yikes!!! I'd use "NET SHARE" to do the job!

Run it twice. Once to remove the user and a second time to add the user with the permission you want.

I make sure ran 2 times, not 3 times but still the same

If you have PowerShell 5 why not use Get-SMBShare and Revoke-SMBShareAccess?

Is it safe to say that the last line in your original post (where you said you had PowerShell V2) was in error?

When I use Get-SMBShare I get error "The term 'Get-SMBShare' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function" I google and do this

I type GetSMBShare and get the same error. I have PS V5 and V7

I get message "The name has already been shared."

Just delete the share and re-add it.

 NET SHARE AAaroshi$ /delete
 NET SHARE AAaroshi$=u:\userdata1\AAaroshi /GRANT:AAaroshi,Read /UNLIMITED /CACHE:None

I don't want to delete because other groups have permissions for that share I need to re-add them

Does your PSModulePath include C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules and does the SMBShare subfolder exist? Note, I am running 5.1 on Win11.

 ($env:PSModulePath).split(";")
 Get-Childitem C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\SmbShare

Get-SMBShare isn't available in PowerShell 7 (or 6). There are other areas (like WMI) that are also lacking because the other operating systems don't have anything comparable.

Use PowerShell 5.

PowerShell 6 and 7 are "cross-platform" versions of PowerShell, meant to be used (within limits) to write portable code that can run on Windows, *nix, etc. Linux has its own implementation of SMB, it's called "Samba".
