Hi. I need the easiest suggestion for this task:

I work at a school. We have directories for each grade. So directories named: "First Grade", "Second Grade", etc. Then we have groups in Active Directory for each grade, giving rights to the corresponding folders. Each year we remove all the students from the groups and have to add them to the next years grade.

This seems to be a long and tedious process. Also - I cannot assign this as a project to anyone because they do not know who goes in what grade.

Does anyone have any ideas for how I can make this an easier task? I m open to changing directory structures if necessary.

Thank you so very much.

Well without doing some VBSCRIPT, I suppose you could have groups named "Class of 20XX" instead of "first grade", "second grade", etc. When the school year turns, change the PERMISSIONS on the grade folders for the new corresponding Class of 20XX groups, create a new incoming Class of 20XX group, and delete the outgoing Class of 20XX group and delete the graduated students. This can be done in a fraction of the time.

For student changes, you only have to process those that unfortunately fall behind or leave if you have an efficient way of producing those lists.
