    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
