I am trying to close all of the open files in the shared folders of a server via PowerShell script. I found the following script which only close files on one drive (F:), however, this server has 3 drives (F:, G:, H:) which I want to close all. 



net files | 
 where $_.Contains( "F:" ) |
 foreach $_.Split( ' ' )[0] |
 foreach net file $_ /close


Is there a way to add missing drives into this script or I have to use the same script separately for each drive?



I tried $_.Contains( "F:", "G:", "H:" ) but didn't work



Thank you for your help!

The command you are using is not a native PowerShell command. However, PowerShell does come with a lot of functions to control SMB connections and shares.



What you are looking for could be this:



Get-SMBOpenFile | Close-SMBOpenFile -Force


This will close all files opened via file shares. You can also manage SMB Connections (Get-SMBConnection) and other things. With Get-Command *smb* you will get a list of all SMB related commands.

  • Yep, it works. However, I get a confirmation window (Are you sure you want to perform this action?). Is there a way to override it?

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
