How do you check leasingmode setting through the program?

[Vince Wen]

Is there a way to query SMB share leasing mode directly through the program? To be clear, I don't want to do this through a powershell script, as there are permissioning issues around this (simply put, I don't have the permission).

I've dug around quite a bit and I think the answer is no. But wanted to double check.

If so, is there a creative way to trigger oplocks then check if 'file access is denied' to indirectly determine if leasingmode is set to none?

I think you're trying to tackle this from the wrong side. It's in the interest of the users you don't have oplock problems on their LAN, so make it a requirement of your software to establish the leasing mode settting, otherwise you'll not warrant for the flawless working of your software. There's nothing to be sneaky about. Software requirements are nothing special, if there's othe requirements like minimum RAM, mimimum disk space, they also can't insist on not fulfilling them, if they want to use that software.
