We can use net share command to create, configure and delete network shares from command line . Below you can find syntax and examples for net share command.
Create a network share from command line
The syntax for creating a share is as follows.
net share sharename=folderpath /grant:username,permissions sharename: You can assign name to the share you are going to create username : Login id of the user whom you want to share the folder with permission: Read, Change or Full
For example to share the folder E:\Docs with everyone in the domain and to give full permissions
net share Docs=E:\Documents /grant:everyone,FULL
If you are allowing multiple users to access the share, you can limit the number of users accessing the share simultaneously. This will prevent performance impact on your system. The below command will set the limit to 10 users.
net share Docs=E:\Documents /grant:everyone,FULL /users:10
Command to share with a specific user and to grant only read rights:
net share Docs=E:\Documents /grant:username,READ
Delete network share(i.e to disable sharing of the folder) from command line
net share sharename /delete
For example, to delete the share created above, the command would be as below.
net share docs /delete
Alternatively, we can use the folder physical location also to disable sharing
net share E:\Docs /delete
List the shared created on the local computer
net share
Delete the share on a remote computer
net share sharename \\remotepc /delete

Today we’ll talk about Exchange ActiveSync Mail Apps for AndroidForWork environment.
In my company we use Blackberry UEM 12.6 as MDM platfrom; with the new functionalities of Android For Work we can enable only some apps for the Play Store and block all the other ones.
As Mail apps we tested Blackberry Hub, Outlook by Microsoft, BlueMail by Blue Mail Inc, Email Exchange by MailWise and Vmware Boxer on mainly Samsung S7 devices.
Here some considerations and at the end the definitive choice.

At the end of the tests we decided to use VmWare Boxer as default mail/calendar/address book client for Android because of the limits and lacks of the other apps.
In the future we hope that Blackberry could resolve the license issues and the office 365 (also in hybrid configuration) support for its Android suite apps because this could effort security, limitations and control on the users accounts.
