not possible to enable active screening on C drive

[bahshr]

Hi, I have a server with a share on the C drive.
The script generates everything but is not able to set active screening on the C drive. This is normal behaviour for windows. It is possible to put active screening on subfolders of the C drive. So maybe you could retrieve the shares with Get-SMBShare and put the active screening on the folders that are actually shared?

Hey there! Thanks for the suggestion! If you want to update the script and submit a pull request that does this, I'd be more than happy to merge it into the main script!

That would be really useful for me too!

Hello, It's possible to active on shared folders on C drive. for 2008, 2012 and 2016 Get-WmiObject Win32Share | Select Name,Path,Type | Where-Object { $.Type -match '0|2147483648' } | Select -ExpandProperty Path | Select -Unique

It will not be active in administrative shares ex: c:, c:\windows...... but it will be on all other shares

Brilliant, that needs to replace line 77. Just tried this and it works.

I've updated the script to use @davidande's logic

I approached the same problem this way as it produced less results. Puts a single active screen on any drive that is NOT C:\, but on the individual paths for any shares on C:\:

 Where-Object {$_ -like "C:\*"} | 
 ForEach-Object { 
                 ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo]$_).FullName  # Extract the path, as a string
                  } | Sort-Object -Unique 

Get-WmiObject Win32_Share | Where-Object { $_.Type -eq 0 } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Path |
 Where-Object {$_ -notlike "C:\*"} | 
 ForEach-Object { 
                 ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo]$_).Root.Name  # Extract the Root, as a string
                  } | Sort-Object -Unique

Obviously I don't know how to paste code in as the backslashes and underscores are being dropped from my post. --- Never mind... Figured it out.
