Hi there
Is there a way to change a specific folder security privilege of a domain computer through
group policy.
In other words i have 50 PCs joined in a domain i want to add write privileges in a specific folder for a specific group. I want to do it without having to manually reconfigure each computer.
Is there a way to do it through domain group policy. I suppose it could be done my start up scripting but is there another way?
Thank you

Nope...
I do not believe you can do this. Run a script that uses cacls.exe to fix the permissions. It's fast and easy. Let me know if you need help.

Thanks for the info.
In the same aspect is there a way for mass configuration? For example i would like to turn off windows update on all computers on my domain.
I have done it once with RPC but is there a more delicate way for example with SMS or something?

... can be configured through Domain Policies. Pretty much any registry modification can be made via GPO.
For the folder rights I would right a script that checks the current rights and if the desired rights do not exist it adds them.
You could use cacls.exe or vbscript.

Yep you can
Just go to Group policy editor and computer configuration/windows settings/security settings/file system
Right click add file, then you browse to the folder (if it is being done on the server and the folder is not there cerate it so you can find the path then you can set the permissions by double clicking the folder in the file system.........

Patrick,
Same idea here, but i want to create the permissions "Security Access" on the remote "Win 7" computer.
My setup is i have a system that needs access to a specific drive, and folder on remote machines. The reference you gave seems to give access to the local server files not the remote machine files that would fall within that OU that the policy is being applied?
Any help would be a much appreciated!
Thx

as a follow up, I already have the GPO creating the share for the folder I want access to, but in creating the share it offers no "access security" permissions. The bad thing is once the GPO creates the share, the permissions defaultly show as "everyone". This is not the desired result, so I am looking to remove "everyone" and add permissions for a few active directory accounts and groups.
Thx again
