Run Net Share command in powershell script

Question

I try to share a folder in powershell with net share command, i can't use group or user name for share permission because this script will be used on the systems with different os languages, for this reason i use group/user SID to set up share permissions.

Here is my script, my function work great outside of command. But my function dont work in "NET SHARE" cmd.

function Get-GroupName {
param ($SID)

$objSID = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($sid)
$objUser = $objSID.Translate([System.Security.Principal.NTAccount])
$objUser.Value
}

# Share Folder + Set Share Permission SID Based
cmd /c net share MSI=C:\MSI /GRANT:(Get-GroupName -SID 'S-1-1-0'),READ

This will work:

cmd /c $( "net share MSI=C:\MSI /GRANT:""$(Get-GroupName -SID 'S-1-1-0')"",READ" )

But if you're on Windows 8 or newer, Windows Server 2012 or newer you can use the Set-SmbShare and Grant-SmbShareAccess cmdlets instead:

I would gladly help but I think that for readability and for the community it would be better to create a new question so I (and other people) can answer it.
