Powershell…
Set-Acl
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849810.aspx
Here’s a code snippet that shows powershell looping through folders:
$path = "\\server\e$\drawings\_Dwgs_for_Release"
$ArcPath = "\\server\e$\drawings\_Dwgs_for_Release\Archive"
$PathDir = get-ChildItem $Path | where{$_.PSIsContainer} |
where{$_.lastwritetime –lt (Get-date).AddDays(-90)}
foreach ($item in $PathDir) {
if ($item) {Move-item $path"\"$item $ArcPath}
}
You can add an extra test at each folder level to check for more child objects
and keep digging down. An extra step but less code could be to dump “dir /b
/ad /s” to a text file and have powershell read it in and grab each line as a
path.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Adding ACE to an Entire Directory Tree
I’ve been dealing with NTFS permissions for years, but surprisingly the need
for this has rarely come up:
I need to grant full control permission to a group and it needs to propagate
all the way down a directory tree. This means that it needs to apply to
folders which aren’t inheriting permissions, and of course it needs to be done
without resetting the entire ACL on any of the data. The account I use will
have full control of the data all the way down the tree, so at least that is
not an obstacle.
So far I haven’t found a way to do this without using something like Security
Explorer. Does anyone know of the right tool or method to use for this? I’m
not able to find any switches within the “_cacls” commands. It seems to me
that there’s got to be a way to do this without buying a utility. Maybe it’s
there in front of me and I’m just not getting it.
Thanks for any help with this.
