UPrint get ShareId in printer properties from Powershell
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.
MicrosoftNerradPB 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

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

Hi, Yes I can get all of that information when I run get-upprinter but the output you're showing me isn't from the same script that you posted in your first reply.
In any case, none of that gives you the ShareID property, which is required to apply permissions using the grant-upaccess command
