RE: [ActiveDir] Editing directory permissions

[Abbiss, Mark]

Title: Message

well looking at the minimal help file that comes with Xcacls I am not 100% certain if it does or does not do what I want. Subinacl certainly does not appear to do it.   Let me elaborate   We have users homeshares in the following structure   x:\users\     ---- \USER1     ---- \USER2     ---- \USER3     ---- \USER.     ---- \USERn   The top level directory has permissons for administrators, backup operators and for our quota management software.   Unfortunately, when some of the�user directories underneath were created they were not created with inheritence set. The consequence is that the quota software was not given rights to set new values on these user directories.   I would like to simple run a command that will go down all the user directories and ADD the quota software account to the permissions for each user. I would like all the current security settings to remain untouched.   Have I misunderstood the xcacls help and it will in fact be able to do this ??   Or can I use another utility ?   Many thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mittwoch, 17.

Is it just a question of syntax or is it not capable of doing what you need done?   If those two wouldn't fit the bill, I'd probably write a script to handle it. Something like Hyena might also do the trick, too.   Roger -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.

I want the existing ACL info to remain but want to append another set.   Many thanks,   Mark
