CACLS

[faza]

I have trying to bulk change the NTFS permission on the home folders for the new starters. I am using the CACLS function

 

CACLS username /T /P username:F administrator:F

 

But everytime i type this or run a series of these with the appropriate username all the batch file does is continously scroll down with the first line.

When i use the cmd prompt i go to the location where the home folders are stored.

 

Am i missing something ?

This assumes you are at the same level as the folders at the command prompt and that the folder name is the same as the useraccount name.

 

for /D %%i in (*) do (
cacls %%i /T /E /G yourdomain\domain admins:f
cacls %%i /T /E /G yourdomain\%%i:f

)

 

I generally set the permissions for them to change and not full control.

why not full control out of interest is this for the pupils?
