Deleting Shared Folders

This topic demonstrates how to delete shared folders in EmpowerID.

Prerequisites

EmpowerID must first be connected to Active Directory.
For details, see Connecting to Active Directory.
A Windows File Server within Active Directory must be added to EmpowerID as a managed resource system.
For details, see Adding 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.
