Get-SmbMapping

Retrieves the SMB client directory mappings created for a server.

Syntax

Default (Default)

Get-SmbMapping
    [[-LocalPath] <String[]>]
    [[-RemotePath] <String[]>]
    [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
    [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
    [-AsJob]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-SmbMapping cmdlet retrieves the Server Message Block (SMB) client directory mappings created for a server. This can be a mapping from a local drive letter to a remote shared folder, or it can be a mapping without a local path.

Examples

Example 1: Get SMB client directory mappings

PS C:\>Get-SmbMapping
Status                                  Local Path                              Remote Path
------                                  ----------                              -----------
OK                                      X:                                      \\Contoso-SO\VMFiles
OK                                      Y:                                      \\Contoso-FS\VMS1

This command retrieves the SMB client directory mappings created for the SMB server.

Example 2: Get SMB client directory mapping for a directory

PS C:\>Get-SmbMapping -LocalPath X: | Select-Object -Property *
Status                : OK
LocalPath             : X:
RemotePath            : \\Contoso-SO\VMFiles
PSComputerName        :
CimClass              : ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/SMB:MSFT_SmbMapping
CimInstanceProperties : {LocalPath, RemotePath, Status}
CimSystemProperties   : Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimSystemProperties

This command retrieves the SMB client directory mapping for the X: directory created for the SMB server.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Parameter properties

Type:

CimSession[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:Session

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

-LocalPath

Specifies the local path used to map the remote path on this computer.

Parameter properties

Type:

String[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:1
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:True
Value from remaining arguments:False

-RemotePath

Specifies the remote path that is accessed from this computer.

Parameter properties

Type:

String[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:2
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:True
Value from remaining arguments:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Parameter properties

Type:Int32
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

(All)
Position:Named
Mandatory:False
Value from pipeline:False
Value from pipeline by property name:False
Value from remaining arguments:False

CommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

Inputs

None

Outputs

CimInstance

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object. This cmdlet returns a MSFT_SmbMapping object that represents the mappings created from the SMB client to SMB shares.
