[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-SmbShare cmdlet modifies the properties of the Server Message Block (SMB) share.
Examples
Example 1: Modify properties of an SMB share
PS C:\>Set-SmbShare -Name "VMFiles" -EncryptData $True
Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing operation 'Modify' on Target 'Contoso-SO,VMFiles'.
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"):This command modifies the properties of an SMB share.
Example 2: Modify properties of an SMB share without confirmation
PS C:\>Set-SmbShare -Name "VMFiles" -EncryptData $True -ForceThis command modifies the properties of an SMB share without user confirmation.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CachingMode
Specifies the caching mode of the offline files for the SMB share. There are five caching modes:
- None. Prevents users from storing documents and programs offline.
- Manual. Allows users to identify the documents and programs that they want to store offline.
- Programs. Automatically stores documents and programs offline.
- Documents. Automatically stores documents offline.

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CATimeout
Specifies the continuous availability time-out of the SMB share.
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | 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.
| Type: | CimSession[] |

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ConcurrentUserLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrently connected users that the SMB share may accommodate. If this parameter is set to zero (0), then the number of users is unlimited. By default, new SMB shares have no limit on the number of concurrent connections.
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ContinuouslyAvailable
Indicates whether the share is continuously available.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Description
Specifies an optional description of the SMB share. A description of the share can be displayed by running the Get-SmbShare cmdlet. Specify an empty string to clear the current description. The description may not contain more than 256 characters.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-EncryptData

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-FolderEnumerationMode
Specifies which files and folders in the new SMB share will be visible to the users. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- AccessBased. SMB does not the display the files and folders for a share to a user unless that user has rights to access the files and folders. By default, access-based enumeration is disabled for new SMB shares.
- Unrestricted. SMB displays files and folders to a user even when the user does not have permission to access those items.
The default value is Unrestricted.
| Type: | FolderEnumerationMode |
| Accepted values: | AccessBased, Unrestricted |
| Position: | Named |

-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.
