Examples

1: Find Windows shares on a computer that is not yet a VMM library server. 
PS C:\> $Credential = Get-Credential
PS C:\> Find-SCLibraryShare -Credential $Credential -ComputerName "Server01.Contoso.com"

The first command uses Get-Credential to prompt you to supply a user name and password with permissions to access Windows shares on Server01 and stores your credentials in the $Credential variable.

The second command confirms that you have valid credentials for this operation and then displays all existing Windows shares capable of becoming VMM library shares.
2: Find shares on a VMM library server. 
PS C:\> Find-SCLibraryShare -LibraryServer "LibraryServer01.Contoso.com"

This command displays all Windows shares capable of becoming library shares that exist on LibraryServer01 as well as all shares that are already VMM library shares.
