Home / Identity Administration / Shared Folders / Current: Deleting Shared Folders

This topic demonstrates how to delete shared folders in EmpowerID and is divided into the following activities:

Prerequisites: Before you can delete a shared folder in EmpowerID, the following prerequisites need to be met:
  • EmpowerID must first be connected to Active Directory. For the details, seeConnecting to Active Directory.
  • After EmpowerID is connected to Active Directory, a Windows File Server within that directory must be added to EmpowerID as a managed resource system. For the details, seeAdding Windows File Servers.
  • Additionally, for EmpowerID to have the necessary NTFS permissions to delete shared folders, you must associate the Windows Server Management Web Service job with a service account that is a member of the domain administrator's group with a password that is vaulted in EmpowerID. For more details, see Configuring the EmpowerID Windows Server Agent Account.
