ADSI is a Component Object Model (COM) based interface for accessing directory services. Each element of the network, such as users, printers and computers, can be treated as an object.

To use the FileShare form, run the ADSFshare.exe file and extract the form files. Run the form from within Visual FoxPro by typing the following in the Command window:


   DO FORM fileshare

Enter a domain name and a server name upon which to look for file shares. A domain name is not required, but omitting the domain name increases the time of the search. Once the server is found and the list box is populated, shares may be selected from the list. When selected, properties for the share are listed in the text boxes on the right. Clicking the Delete button deletes the selected share, if the user has permissions to do so.

Shares may be added by entering a path and a share name, then clicking the Add button. The Exit button closes the form.
