Hey there, I'm trying to apply permissions to 100 shared printers with Powershell but the none of the commands in the current module seem to have the ability to grab a shared printer's ShareId which ...

    I can get the shareID like this:

     

    Get-UPPrinter | select -ExpandProperty share | select sharename,shareid

     

    Then I can share like this:

     

    Grant-UPAccess -GroupId xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-ShareID xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx

Hi thanks for the reply, yes I've read through the documentation several times. Unless I'm really blind today (and often I am), Get-UpPrinter does not reveal the ShareId anywhere near as I can tell. It tells you IF it's shared, and what the share name is, but that's all. 

That command doesn't seem to do anything for me. Returned no results.

    NerradPB Get-UPprinter returns "printers" object as a collection. Within the printer object, you will have "share" as object collection. Share object has ShareId, ShareName and CreatedDateTime as its properties.

     

    Have you implemented all three commands in PowerShell that I listed above to see if it returns the ShareID?

    > $printers = Get-UPPrinter

    > $printers[0].Share[0].ShareID

     

    Thanks,

    Saurabh

      Yes, as I mentioned in the previous reply.

        NerradPB - the only reason I see that happening is when the printer is not shared. When you Get-UPPrinter, what does it say against printer's "IsShared" and "Share" properties?

         

        Here is the output from what I run:

         > $myprinter = Get-UPPrinter | where-object {$_.Name -eq "printer_shared"}

        > $myprinter |Format-List

         

        PrinterId : f10a7a74-a2a0-421a-97ff-258a68979d83
        Name : printer_shared
        Manufacturer : Test
        Model : Test
        RegisteredBy :
        RegisteredDateTime : 8/28/2020 7:03:05 PM +00:00
        Status : Microsoft.UPManagement.Models.PrinterStatus
        Capabilities :
        IsShared : True
        Location : Microsoft.UPManagement.Models.PrinterLocation
        Jobs :
        Share : Microsoft.UPManagement.Models.PrinterShare
        Connectors : {}

        >

         

        If I run it for a printer that is not shared, here is what I get:

        > $myprinter1 = Get-UPPrinter | where-object {$_.Name -eq "printer_not_shared"}

        > $myprinter1 |Format-List

         

        PrinterId : 5aa18aaa-93f7-4884-8919-c8ccded505ff
        Name : printer_not_shared
        Manufacturer : Test
