Creating a Network Share
Creates a shared folder named FinanceShare, setting the maximum number of simultaneous connections to 25, and adding a share description.

Stops sharing a shared folder named FinanceShare. This does not delete the folder from the local hard drive, but simply stops making it available over the network.

Deletes a published folder named FinanceShare from Active Directory. This does not delete the share itself, it simply removes it from Active Directory.
