How to Set Up a Windows Share

How to Set Up a Windows Share

To enable a Windows share:

  1. Add a resource in which the public and internal host are the name of the share.

  2. Enable ports 137, 138, 139, and 445. 

  3. Select TCP/UDP as a protocol.

If you are using an Entra ID domain, the name of the share should be the name of the machine suffixed by the Entra ID domain.

For example: \\<machinewithshare>.<windomain.int>\<ShareName>. In this case:

  • machinewithshare is the name of the machine hosting the share folders.

  • windomain.int is the Entra ID domain.

  • ShareName is the name of the share.
