Perhaps I am missing something here, but you can use the "File System Object" Computer Group Policy to manage permissions on specific folders, including ownership and rights based on groups.

(It's the one I was working on last week.) Some of the folders in the template have special permission sets on them. Not all of the users that will run the script actually have access rights to all the subfolders, so when the script runs it will stop when it runs into an ownership problem. At the heart, it's basically just an XCOPY /E /H /I / K /O. I neglected to test the damn thing as a member of the sales group which has about enough rights to view but very limited write permissions in the sub folders. Basically when the thing gets to the Engineering folder it stops. Also, it appears that there may be a problem with ownership. Another group creates the top level folder then just stops. I'd rather just set it up so that whoever starts the app it runs as an administrator which doesn't have such limitations.
