I think iHTK may suit your needs.
http://www.intrafoundation.com/ihtk.html
The Intranet/Hosting Toolkit (or IHTK) currently includes several CFX tags
(DLL files) including CFX_Users for NT users, CFX_Groups
for local and domain groups, CFX_Shares for handling network shares,
CFX_Permissions for managing network file permissions,
CFX_Services, CFX_IIS for creating/managing IIS4/5 ftp and web sites and the
ever-useful CFX_NetworkTopology for figuring out what's
in your network.
(The limited-set read-only CFX_GetUserGroups is also included.
CFX_UserManager and CFX_NFS are still included but considered
deprecated on W2K.)
In whole, these tags are meant to be analogues to the Windows GUI tools such
as "User Manager for Domains", the IIS MMC/ICM, the
Services dialog box of the Control Panel, as well as the Network Neighbor
(shares, printers, mapped network drives, etc). The
creation/listing/deletion/searching of NTFS permissions (also known as ACLs)
is also supported.
In short, it's a toolkit for anyone using ColdFusion to administrate an
intranet or web hosting organization.
CFX_Users allows you to fully manage NT users. The functionality is a fairly
robust imitation of the "User Manager for Domains" GUI.
CFX_Groups permits on-the-fly creation and management of domain local,
global and universal groups in either the default security or
distribution flavours.
CFX_Shares allows you to setup and list network shares at will.
CFX_Permissions allows you to add, delete, search, list through NTFS file
permissions (ACLs). Also includes a redundant CACLS-clone
function just for curiosity.
CFX_IIS allows automation of IIS4/5 FTP and Web site creation. The
CFX_Services tag supports CFX_IIS by performing
stop/start/pause/continue, etc actions against NT services (HINT: just don't
stop the Cold Fusion Server).
CFX_NetworkTopology returns the layout and status of the network in a form
that can be used to setup operations with the other tags.
CFX_UserManager and CFX_NFS are from the pre W2K era. CFX_UserManager allows
you to fully manage NT users and groups (local and
global/domain). The functionality is a fairly robust imitation of the "User
Manager for Domains" GUI. CFX_NFS allows you to manage
NTFS file permissions (ACLs) on local, shared or network mapped drives.
Full documentation and confidence tests are included. FREEWARE. Open sourced
C++ software.
HTH,
