File shares: Access-Based Enumeration

Check id files.abe

What it checks

For each share someone has mapped, checks whether Windows Access-Based Enumeration (ABE) is on. Gate already hides what a person cannot open; ABE makes Explorer hide it too.

What you might see

Info	Access-Based Enumeration (ABE) is off on: \\fs1\Data.	Gate still hides it from the AI; people can see the names in Explorer.
OK	Access-Based Enumeration (ABE) is enabled on all 3 share(s).	Fine.

How to fix it

On the file server: Server Manager → File and Storage Services → Shares.
Right-click the share → Properties → Settings → tick Enable access-based enumeration.

Command line

Set-SmbShare -Name Data -FolderEnumerationMode AccessBased -Force
