Disconnect from smb share with powershell on Windows 10












1















I'm trying to disconnect a smb share with a Powershell command in Windows 10:



net use * /delete


However, this command does not work, because the share is not shown with net use. The output is There are no entries in the list.



Get-SmbConnection is showing the results I'd expect,



ServerName ShareName UserName  Credential Dialect NumOpens
---------- --------- -------- ---------- ------- --------
FILESERVER extra xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx 3.0 1
FILESERVER home xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx 3.0 1
FILESERVER IPC$ xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx 3.0 0
FILESERVER public xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx 3.0 2


But I do not know how to disconnect a share with this information.



The reason for my question: I want to write a batch script which disconnects all network shares from a PC after log off (e.g. Win+L keys). On Windows 7 and 8 I use the mentioned net use * /delete command, which does not work on Windows 10, as shown above.
The SMB shares are accessible with the GUI (Explorer -> Network ...) and I can save, change and delete files on them. But the share is not mapped to a drive letter.





Following is a bit output for stuff that does not help, but it seems my question is still not clear enough:



Get-SmbConnection : see above, I want to close these!



Get-SmbSession : No output.



Get-SmbMapping : No output.



Get-SmbShare :



Name   ScopeName Path                              Description
---- --------- ---- -----------
ADMIN$ * C:WINDOWS Remoteverwaltung
C$ * C: Standardfreigabe
IPC$ * Remote-IPC

Try Remove-SmbMapping. Assuming you're on the client, it looks like this is the one you want to use. You can probably pipe results from Get-SMBConnection to Remove-SmbMapping

  • Yes, I am on the client. I added the results from 'Get-SmbMapping' in my question. I can add one and can remove one but I cannot remove the open SmbConnections

  • Get-SMBConnection shows the credential of the account that connected the share. Are you using the same account to disconnect it? Also, check Remove-SmbMapping for a -Force switch. Sounds like MS has changed the way mapping works and the new best practice has not made it to the public at large.

  • Yes, I run Get-SmbConnection as admin and it shows the right user name and credential (in the form machinenameusername, not the admin account). Yes it seems that unmapped smb works different in smb3. In earlier versions I could use net use * /d to "remove" the connection and lock in again with user credentials, this does not work any more.
