adding folder security permission on all PCs

[edie209]

I need to add a new security permission on a folder of every pc in on the network now I know this is possible but for the life of me I can't remember how, would one of you lovely people please put me out of my misery

If the folder resides in the same place on each PC and is called the same name a simple login script or batch file using CALCS.exe would sort that problem out for you.

Hi thank for the quick reply

 

So will calcs.exe add a user to the security if so this will work the folder is the same on every pc on the network.

 

Edit looking at info on the web I have come up with this

 

echo y| cacls c:\Program Files\Folder /E /T /C /G Domian\user:F

 

Would you agree with this/

You can do this quite easily with group policy..

 

Computer Configuration - Security Settings - File System.

 

Add the file of folder you want to set security on.

Guys just want to point out that it is cacls.exe not calcs.exe

Exactly as we do it.

I'm trying to restrict access to the all user's desktop for one user, can I deny access to this particular folder by using this setting in the group policy on the server?

It's for a pupil with special needs who needs a desktop with 3 or 4 icons on.
