Restoring NTFS Permissions

by trautmann . Updated 24 years, 3 months ago

One of our admins changed the NTFS permissions on our INETPUB directory. The big mistake was that he filtered the change down to every sub-directory! It affected a hundred or so directories that had individual NTFS permission settings. I spent hourstrying to change them back.
Is there a way I can save NTFS permissions and also restore them if need be?
After some research, I found I could do this for share permissions by saving a Registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares). Anything similar for NTFS permissions?
I want to avoid this in the future. It cost me hours of valuable time. Any suggestions?
