yes. the folder names on the network match the user names in AD. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Malczewski<mailto:jmalczewski@xxxxxxxx> To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'<mailto:'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'> Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 10:18 AM Subject: [THIN] Re: Easier way to do this Well, assuming you are talking about home directories or profile directories or something, if the directory name matches the account name you could do this very easily with some scripting of the XCACLS utility... If, however, they don't match up, well, then...... ?? I already have a script written to do this if they match, I just did it a couple weeks ago when I moved to a new file server and had to reset all the permissions on home and profile directories.. I simply wandered through my AD OU's and grabbed the folders that matched the user's account names, and then changed the permissions on them as such. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Boggan [mailto:mboggan@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 11:10 AM To: ThinList Subject: [THIN] Easier way to do this I need to change NTFS permissions on 125 directories. Assigning only the user to each one and removing admins etc. Is there a way to do this with a script or command line using a variable such as %username%, or something?
