Add-TpmsSharingInfo

50 views 0

Description

Adds sharing properties to a printer object and specifies whether it is to be listed in the Active Directory.

With V-Layers the sharing properties must be set for both the native and the Output Gateway printer objects separately.

Note! Always run Add-TpmsSharingInfo together with New-TpmsObjPrinter or New-TpmsObjPrinterTpog – i. e., not with separate scripts.

Syntax

Add-TpmsSharingInfo -Printers <PSObject[]> -Name <string> -Mode <string>

Parameter Description
-Printers printers to be shared
-Name share names
-Mode specifies whether a printer is to be shared and/or listed in the Active Directory

ActiveDirectory: share printer and list it in the AD

Network: share printer only

Note! This Tpms version supports only share names of up to 32 characters. If you need longer share names, please contact our support for a fix:

Example 1: cmdlet usage

Add-TpmsSharingInfo -Printers ($printer) -Name TpmsSharing01 -Mode ActiveDirectory

$printer = $printer | Add-TpmsSharingInfo -Name TpmsSharing01 -Mode Network

Both lines add sharing settings to the printers specified in the $printer variable.

On this, see also New-TpmsObjPrinterTpog.

Example 2: Script containing Add-TpmsSharingInfo

The following script creates ten printers with Standard TCP/IP Ports which are defined in a .csv file. The print­ers are shared in the network but not listed in the Active Directory (-Mode Network). The printer name is used also as share name.
