SMB Share Permissions Audit [Windows]

Overview​

The automation collects SMB share details and access permissions from Windows devices and stores the results as an HTML table in the cPVAL SMB Share Details WYSIWYG custom field. Use it to audit and review SMB share permissions for security and access monitoring.

note

Schedule the automation on Windows devices with Run As set to System. The automation reports a failure if no SMB shares are found, no share permissions can be read, or the custom field cannot be updated.

Requirements​

  • Supported operating system and device role
  • Run As: System
  • PowerShell 5.1
  • Anything else the device needs, for example internet access or a signed-in user
