Configuration Manager Report on Client Shared Folders

Question

Is it possible to generate a report regarding a client's shared folders?

I have used third party tools that are able to do this in the past, but have recently deployed ConfigMgr and was hoping to leverage this technology where possible.

I have located a few old posts regarding SMS2003 and CM2012, but I am on the latest CB, and was hoping there was something more current.

Essentially, I am looking to identify any clients that have shared folders, and identify the SMB share permissions. I am not concerned with NTFS permissions (yet).

I have enabled shares within the hardware inventory collection, on the recommendation of another sysadmin, but I don't understand where this information is stored, or if it is even what I'm looking for.

Thank you!

Chris

Answer 1

The CM12 post should still be valid. keep in mind this might be a bit of data.

Answer 2

Hi, @Chris Perkins

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

After you enabled shares within the hardware inventory collection and the hardware inventory executed on clients, we can get the info about share folder in the database, we can use the query to get the result:

select b.Name0, a.Name0, a.Path0, a.Description0 from v_GS_SHARE a

join v_R_System b on a.ResourceID=b.ResourceID
