My Documents Redirected - Access Denied - Need script Please :D

[2097]

Hi Guys

 

My documents are currently redirected back to C:\path\name\my documents

 

i think ' grant exclusive rights to user ' is enabled .

 

i have no problem setting permissions on the user name path but the My documents part wont allow me to touch it because i am not the owner . Is there a good automated way to do this using a VBS ? as i dont want to take owner ship of them all by hand.

 

tried a few different ways so far but all they have done is changed the user name folders permissions.

Yes, there is!

 

An example..

 

for /D %%i in (*) do (
SetACL.exe -on "Z:\homedirs\%%i" -ot file -actn setowner -ownr "n:DOMAIN\%%i;s:n" 
SetACL.exe -on "Z:\homedirs\%%i" -ot file -actn rstchldrn -rst "dacl"
)

 

Change "z:\homedirs" to the path to your my documents store on the server. Don't remove %%i as this is the folder name for each user (the username). Change DOMAIN\ to your domain

 

 

Save it to a directory on your server and name it "Perms.bat" (for example)

 

You need to run the script on the server, and have SetACL.exe in the same dir as the batch script.
