    Folder Permissions on File Server

    Locked

    by cwilson21 ·

    I would like be able to easily export or flowchart or somehow get a listing of what users and goups have what permissions on the folders on my file server.

    Does anyone know how to do this? Is there a script that I can use or a program that will go and grab this info and give me something that I can print out etc…

    I am using MS Server 2003 with Active Directory.

    Any help would be great. Thanks.

      Cut-n-paste this into notepad, save it as a vbs file (watch out that .txt is not appended).
      Change the sComputer section to reflect your server name. Save it, open a cmd prompt, verify the path (or environment variables point to) that directory.
      type Cscript vbsname.vbs>test.txt

        Only listed shares and no permissions

        by cwilson21 ·

        In reply to Oldie but goodie

        Here is a sample of the output that script gave me:

        —————————————————————–
        Allow Maximum: True
        Caption: HR
        Maximum Allowed:
        Name: HR
        Path: D:\Admin\Human Resource
        Type: Disk drive
        —————————————————————–

        It listed the share but not what groups/users and permisions they have to it.

          I sent the wrong one sorry I wasted your time. Try this, it is currently only set to run on a local system so it will have to be run on the server.

          Set oWMI = GetObject(“winmgmts:”)

          ‘ Get only Disk Drive shares
          Set oShares = oWMI.ExecQuery(“select Name from Win32_Share where Type=0”)

          For Each oShare In oShares

          ‘ Connect to WMI and get the share security object for the share
          Set oShareSecSetting = GetObject( _
          “winmgmts:Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting.Name='” & oShare.Name & “‘”)

          ‘ Use the Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting Caption property to create a
          ‘ simple header before dumping the discretionary access control list (DACL)
          WScript.Echo oShareSecSetting.Caption

          ‘ Call the Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting GetSecurityDescriptor
          ‘ method to retrieve an instance of the Win32_SecurityDescriptor class
          ‘ for the target object. Note that this is achieved by passing an empty
          ‘ variable to GetSecurityDescriptor, which GetSecurityDescriptor in turn
          ‘ initializes with an instance of the Win32_SecurityDescriptor class
          ‘ that corresponds to the security descriptor for the target object.
          iRC = oShareSecSetting.GetSecurityDescriptor(oSecurityDescriptor)

          If iRC <> 0 Then
          Select Case iRC
          Case 2
          WScript.Echo “You do not have access to the requested information”
          Case 8
          WScript.Echo “Unknown failure”
          Case 9
          WScript.Echo “You do not have adequate privileges”
          Case 21
          WScript.Echo “The specified parameter is invalid”
          Case Else
          WScript.Echo “Unknown error”
          End Select
          WScript.Quit
          End If

          ‘ After the security descriptor is retrieved, you can use the properties
          ‘ provided by the Win32_SecurityDescriptor class to dissect the security
          ‘ descriptor’s access control lists (DACL and SACL) and access
          ‘ control entries (ACEs).

          ‘ Retrieve the content of Win32_SecurityDescriptor DACL property.
          ‘ The DACL is an array of Win32_ACE objects.
          aDACL = oSecurityDescriptor.DACL

          For Each oAce In aDACL
          WScript.Echo
          WScript.Echo “Access Mask: ” & oAce.AccessMask
          WScript.Echo “ACE Type: ” & oAce.AceType

          ‘ Get Win32_Trustee object from ACE
          Set oTrustee = oAce.Trustee
          WScript.Echo “Trustee Domain: ” & oTrustee.Domain
          WScript.Echo “Trustee Name: ” & oTrustee.Name

          ‘ Get SID as array from Trustee
          aSID = oTrustee.SID

          For i = 0 To UBound(aSID) – 1
          strsid = strsid & aSID(i) & “,”
          Next
          strsid = strsid & aSID(i)
          WScript.Echo “Trustee SID: {” & strsid & “}”
          Next
          Next

      Have you tried using the query feature in ADUC? What about GPMC, it may be able to give you the information you are looking for. You may be able to structure your query in ADUC to give you the information you are looking for. Let me know if this helps.
