Description

The Unblock-SmbShareAccess cmdlet removes all of the deny access control entries (ACEs) for the trustee from the security descriptor of the Server Message Block (SMB) share.

Examples

Example 1: Remove the deny ACEs for a trustee

PS C:\>Unblock-SmbShareAccess -Name "VMFiles" -AccountName "Guest Users"
Confirm 
Are you sure you want to perform this action? 
Performing operation 'Modify' on Target 'Contoso-SO,VMFiles'. 
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y 

Name                    ScopeName               AccountName             AccessControlType       AccessRight 
----                    ---------               -----------             -----------------       ----------- 
VMFiles                 Contoso-SO              Contoso\Guest           Deny                    Full

This command removes all of the deny ACEs for the trustee from the security descriptor of the SMB share.

Example 2: Remove the deny ACEs for a trustee without confirmation

PS C:\>Unblock-SmbShareAccess -Name "VMFiles" -AccountName "Contoso\Guest" -Force
Name                    ScopeName               AccountName             AccessControlType       AccessRight

VMFiles                 Contoso-SO              Contoso\Administrator   Allow                   Full 
VMFiles                 Contoso-SO              Contoso\Contoso-HV1$    Allow                   Full

This command removes all of the deny ACEs for the trustee from the security descriptor of the SMB share without user confirmation.

Parameters

-AccountName

Specifies an array of the names of the trustees whose deny ACEs are removed from the security descriptor of the SMB share. Specify a comma-separated list to unblock multiple trustees.
