Set ownership and permissions of homefolders - ICalcs and TAKEOWN

[bondbill2k2]

I'm not much of a script writer at all, I currently have

set /p userDir=   Username:



TAKEOWN /f "C:\Home Directories\%userDir%" /r /d y
ICACLS "C:\Home Directories\%userDir%" /reset /T
ICACLS "C:\Home Directories\%userDir%" /grant:r "SERVERNAME\%userDir%":(OI)(CI)M
ICACLS "C:\Home Directories\%userDir%" /setowner "SERVERNAME\%userDir%" /T

 

This works perfect for a single folder at a time, entering the username when prompted but I'd like to run this on a whole year of students, the idea is simple count the number of directories in the location specified. For each dir get the dir name and change the userdir parameter to this for each loop until all have been changed. I'm sure this wouldn't take long for someone who knows the syntax better then me I'll give it a go myself but might be beaten on here by other users, you beautifully brainy bunch!

What about feeding it dir/b as the input variable?

Or to make doubly sure it's only directories that are returned.

 

dir /A:D /B

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%z IN ('dir /A:D /B "Path_goes_here"') DO (echo change perms %%z)

 

For a start.
