Directory Permissions

[Plasmic]

Does anyone know of some software that can tell me the user access and rights to directories. I need to scan several servers local drives to see what user and groups have access and what type of access they have ... example
C:\System - Administrator - Full Control
C:\Data - Domain Users - Read
C:\Games - Everyone - Full Control
many thanks

Not sure if this will help you, but the command 'perms.exe' will enumerate permissions for files and folders. However you have to specify the username to enumerate so may not be of much use to you.
The util is availble from the 2000 resource kit (and probably others)

Here's a copy of the syntax...


Displays a user's permissions to specified files and directories.

PERMS [domain\|computer\]username path [/i] [/s]

[domain\|computer\]username Name of user whose permissions are to be checked.
path A file or directory, wildcards (*,?) accepted.
/i Assumes the specified user is logged on interactively
to computer where the file/directory resides.
With this switch, PERMS assumes the user is a member
of the INTERACTIVE group. Without this switch, PERMS
assumes the user is a member of the NETWORK group.
/s Check permissions on files in subdirectories.

The output access mask contains the following letters:

R Read
W Write
X Execute
D Delete
P Change Permissions
O Take Ownership
A General All
- No Access
* The specified user is the owner of the file or directory.
# A group the user is a member of owns the file or directory.
? The user's access permisssions can not be determined.
