Rename CIFS Share

Hi,

I hope that you can help.

I want to rename a bunch of CIFS shares using the PSTK - I don't think you can technically rename a share so I am creating/deleting. I'm using the following to retrieve the current share properties that I am interested in keeping:

$oldshareproperties = Get-NcCifsShare -Name $oldshare | Select-Object ShareName,Acl,Path,Comment,Vserver,OfflineFilesMode,ShareProperties

I'm then creating some variables to create the new share name with the existing properties:

$newshare = "$($oldshareproperties.ShareName)RO$" $activepath = $oldshareproperties.Path $newcomment = "READ ONLY $($oldshareproperties.Comment)" $newofflinemode = $oldshareproperties.OfflineFilesMode $newproperties = $oldshareproperties.ShareProperties Add-NcCifsShare -Name $newshare -Path $activepath -Comment $newcomment -OfflineFilesMode $newofflinemode -ShareProperties $newproperties

I can capture the ACL (everyone / read) from the existing share but how do I turn these into arguments for the Set-NcCifsShareAcl, i.e. -UserOrGroup and -Permission?

Thanks
