Gets one or more Sync Shares.

Syntax

Description

The Get-SyncShare cmdlet gets one or more Sync Shares and displays their settings.

Examples

Example 1: Get all Sync Shares on a server

This command gets all of the Sync Shares on the server.

Example 2: Get a specific Sync Share

This command gets the Sync Share named Contoso-share01.

Parameters

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:	CimSession [ ]
Aliases:	Session
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies an array of names of Sync Shares that this cmdlet gets.

Type:	String [ ]
Position:	1
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies a Virtual Computer Object (VCO), if the server is part of a cluster. Use this parameter to return the Sync Shares that belong to a VCO.

Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShellВ® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Windows sync share service

Вопрос

Hi everyone, I’m using Windows Server 2012 R2 and I got a red message under Local Server -> services section.

Windows Sync Share seems to not be able to start. When I check logs I can read this message :

The Sync Share service terminated with the following service-specific error:
General access denied error

So first I don’t even know what is this service and what is its function and then does anyone is able to help me to understand this error ?

Ответы

Service name: SyncShareSvc;

Display name: Windows Sync Share.

The Windows Sync Share service enables client devices to sync files from a file server.

Would you please let me confirm if had installed the File and Storage Services role on the Windows Server 2012 R2, and then enabled Work Folders feature which is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 as part of the File and Storage Services role?

Regarding to Work Folders, please refer to following articles.

Please open Services and navigate to Windows Sync Share service, then right click it and select Properties. In properties page, please select Log On tab and check which account this service logged on as. Was it Local Service account?

Meanwhile, please open Event Viewer and let me know the complete error message of the Sync Share service (include Source and Event ID).

New-Sync Share

Creates a Sync Share.

Syntax

Description

The New-SyncShare cmdlet creates a Sync Share. Sync shares are used by work folders to store user files and sync them with user PCs and devices.

Examples

Example 1: Create a new sync share

This command creates a new sync share named Share01. The path for the share is K:\Share01, and the cmdlet grants members of the ContosoEngGroup security group access to the share. The device policy associated with the share is also named Share01.

Example 2: Create a new sync share by using full usernames to name user folders

This command creates a sync share and specifies that user folders should use the user @ domain folder-naming format.

Parameters

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Type:	SwitchParameter

Specifies the description for a sync share configuration. The description is visible in Server Manager and in Windows PowerShell, but does not appear to end users. The description can have a maximum of a 150 characters.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies the fallback Enterprise ID that the Sync Share uses if it cannot successfully query Active DirectoryВ® Domain Services (nextref_adds). If the server cannot successfully query nextref_adds, the server uses the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the sync server as the fallback Enterprise ID unless you specify a different Enterprise ID by using this parameter. The Enterprise ID is issued by the work folders client to encrypt data on the PC or device.

The Enterprise ID is typically constructed by querying nextref_adds for the primary SMTP address of the user, removing the username and ampersand (user@), and sending the remainder to the client as the Enterprise ID. For instance, EvanNarvaez@Contoso.com yields the contoso.com Enterprise ID.

Type:	String

Indicates that the Sync Share inherits the permissions of the parent folder.

It is assumed that their security is managed by the Group Policy of their domain.
