Allow shared folders to be published

Determines whether the user can publish shared folders in Active Directory.

If you enable this setting or do not configure it, users can use the "Publish in Active Directory" option in the Shared Folders snap-in to publish shared folders in Active Directory.

If you disable this setting, the user cannot publish shared folders in Active Directory, and the "Publish in Active Directory" option is disabled. Note: The default is to allow shared folders to be published when this setting is not configured

Supported on: At least Windows Server 2003 operating systems or Windows XP Professional
