This code is good, but

you have not setting the maximum number and adding a share description.

it may be ...

var FILE_SHARE = 0;
var MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 25;
var Path="D:\\Users";

var shareName="Users$";

var objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\.\\root\\cimv2");

var objNewShare = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Share");
var errReturn = objNewShare.Create(Path,shareName,FILE_SHARE, MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS, "Public share for the Finance group.");
