Script to change folder permissions

[scottyses]

I currently have our current domain and a new domain running with a new way trust!

 

What I want to do is add the new domain permissions on to the folder.

 

For example a shared area might have 3 permissions on it currently

SES\S-Staff

SES\JLBloggs

SES\MLBloggs

 

I want the script to copy the username/group and put our new domain credentials on

 

STAMFORD\S-Staff

STAMFORD\JLBloggs

STAMFORD\MLBloggs

 

Is there a script I could use to do this or otherwise it will be alot of work going through each folder and adding the new permission

 

Thanks

You could try this. I would try it on dumy folders first before you do it on the live folders just incase! I didnt do this once and regreted it.

 

for /D %%i in (*) do (
calcs %%i /T /P /G STAMFORD\S-Staff:f
cacls %%i /T /E /G STAMFORD\JLBloggs:f
cacls %%i /T /E /G STAMFORD\MLBloggs:f

)

 

This line adds the username of the folder into the permissions

 

cacls %%i /T /E /G mcc\%%i:f

 

So if the folder is called MLBloggs and the logonname is MLBloggs then it will give it permissions over it.

 

Hope this helps.
