That's the beauty of fileacl.exe - you can specify that the output be in the form of a batch file that can immediately be executed. Following are the first few lines from the output of the scheduled task for the K: drive on our file server: FILEACL k:\ /S "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM":F /S "BUILTIN\Administrators":F /REPLACE /PROTECT FILEACL "k:\DC-Backups" /S "MYCOMPANY\_backup":RWXD FILEACL "k:\Finance-Confidential" /S "MYCOMPANY\FinanceConf":RWXD FILEACL "k:\FWConfigs" /S "MYCOMPANY\_Service":RWXD FILEACL "k:\Groups\Admin" /S "MYCOMPANY\Admin":RWXD /S "BUILTIN\Administrators":RWXD/U/U /S "CREATOR OWNER":U/U/RWXD /S "MYCOMPANY\Domain Users":RX/U/U FILEACL "k:\Groups\Admin\Local Area" /S "MYCOMPANY\Domain Users":RX /S "MYCOMPANY\Domain Users":RX FILEACL "k:\Groups\Admin\Public" /S "MYCOMPANY\Domain Users":RX If executed on the file server, it will immediately replace the permissions with the above.
