mark a share for deletion and return to the client an RPC context handle that
the client can use to actually perform the deletion by calling the <span><a href="04ebf798-ba19-45c6-8ca4-876671e17bc7" data-linktype="relative-path">NetrShareDelCommit</a></span>

IPC$ results in the closing of the pipe on which the RPC is being executed.
Thus, the client never receives the response to the RPC. The two-phase delete
offers a positive response in phase 1 and then an expected error in phase 2.</p><p>If <i>ServerName</i> does not match any <b>Transport.ServerName</b>
