Setting "show-previous-versions"

drwoodberry — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:40:53 GMT

When I originally deployed some sites I would have a powershell script that would set the "show-previous-versions" property of a share using the following line:

Invoke-NcSsh vserver cifs share properties add -share-name sharename$ -share-properties access-based-enumeration show-previous-versions

However,

I have some older sites where this was not done, and I was trying to think of an easy way to loop through each share and set this. I have tried a couple things but have had no luck. Even the latest toolkit documentaion does not even show that as a property of "ShareProperties" on the Set-NcCifsSHare commandlet. I tries many different variations of the below syntax...I feel I am missing something simple.

Is there an easy way to do this that I am missing to get this done, but avoid doing it to the normal "admin$,c$ and ipc$" shares?

$shares = Get-NcCifsShare

foreach ($share in $shares | where $_.sharename -notmatch "$"){Invoke-NcSsh vserver cifs share properties add -share-name $share.shareName -share-properties access-based-enumeration show-previous-versions}

You can use the Set-NcCifsShare cmdlet to adjust share properties...

Get-NcCifsShare | %{ 
    if ($_.ShareProperties -notcontains "show_previous_versions" -and $_.ShareName -notin 'admin$','c$','ipc$') {
        $_ | Set-NcCifsShare -ShareProperties ($_.ShareProperties += "show_previous_versions")
    }
}

Hope that helps!
