Hi Brian, check out my two blog posts here --> [URL] to get all the info you'll need to get started with Powershell and the API.  I'm also going to post below here the code you would need to create a share.  If for some reason the formatting makes it difficult, just email me directly and I'll send you the .ps1 file. Thanks!  ######################################################################################################################################################## Created: 09/30/2013  by Jeremy Smith, EMC NAS Specialist Central Division# Modified:# ## ps_isilon_create_share_via_papi.ps1 - create a share# Note: You need to be at OneFS 7 or greater to leverage the PAPI and HTTP Access must be enabled on the cluster.## PARAMETERS## -isilonip = node IP# -username# -password# -path = /ifs directory path for share# -name = share name# ## EXAMPLE# .\ps_isilon_create_share_via_papi.ps1  -isilonip 10.10.10.1 -user root -password a -path /ifs/data/test -name "test$"# # ######################################################################################################################################## # Accept input parametersParam([String]$isilonip,[String]$username,[String]$password,[String]$path,[String]$name) # With a default cert you would normally see a cert error (code from blogs.msdn.com)add-type @"using System.Net;using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;     public class TrustAll : ICertificatePolicy {    public TrustAll() {}    public bool CheckValidationResult(        ServicePoint sPoint, X509Certificate cert,        WebRequest req, int problem) {        return true;    }}"@[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = new-object TrustAll  #if the correct parameters were not passed we exit after a messageif (!($isilonip -and $username -and $password -and $path -and $name)) {   write "failed to specify parameters";   write "Example: .\ps_isilon_set_quotas_via_papi.ps1 -isilonip 192.168.1.2 -username root -password a -path /ifs/data/jeremy/test -name testshare";   exit} # Encode basic authorization header and create baseurl$EncodedAuthorization = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($username + ':' + $password)$EncodedPassword = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($EncodedAuthorization)$headers = @{"Authorization"="Basic $($EncodedPassword)"}$baseurl = '[URL] + $isilonip +":8080" Write-Host " " # Create share$resource = "/platform/1/protocols/smb/shares"Write-Host "Creating a share at $path called $name"$ShareObject = @"{"name":"$name", "path": "$path"}"@ $headers = @{"Authorization"="Basic $($EncodedPassword)"}$uri = $baseurl + $resource$ISIObject2 = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Body $ShareObject -ContentType "application/json; charset=utf-8" -Method POST$ISIObject2Write-Host "`nDone!" 
Has anyone had any experience connecting to their Isilon and creating a CIFS share using powershell?  I am curious as to what your steps were, and how you did it.  thanks.
