6. Now, you’ve successfully created a network share on a remote computer.

Well, it’s quite a work to make a network share remotely, isn’t it. So let’s try something easier.

A PowerShell way

PowerShell is the new scripting programming tool developed by Microsoft. It’s built right in Windows 7 as well, and it’s very powerful.
1. Open PowerShell console, by typing in "powershell" in the Start Menu.
2. Type in the following command to create a network share "Test" in my remote computer KC-VMXP.

([wmiclass]‘\\kc-vmxp\root\cimv2:Win32_Share’).Create(‘c:\temp’, ‘Test’, 0, 12, ‘test share’).ReturnValue

Replace the parameters to create your own network shares remotely. Isn’t it much cooler? Thanks to PowerTips from PowerShell.com.
To make this PowerShell script work, you need to open WMI Scripting on the remote computer firewall to allow access.
