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?

  • Add the -Force parameter to the close command. I added it into my answer.
