Hi all,
Ok, my boss found something buried deep inside MSDN but I was able to use it
to accomplish my task. Below is the code I wrote to compare a list of
user/groups and permissions for each against a list of Registry DACLs.
===============================================================
Sub AuditReg(ByVal sRegKey, _
ByVal iAccessMask, _
ByVal sGroupName, _
ByVal sAccessText, _
ByVal iAttribCounter, _
ByVal iGroupCounter)
Dim oRegSD, oDACL_ACEs, oADsSecurityUtility
'--
' THIS LINE WAS WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO WHAT WE WANTED.
' --------------------------------------------------
'
' Create an ADsSecurityUtlity object.
'--
Set oADsSecurityUtility = CreateObject("ADsSecurityUtility")
'
' Get the Security Descriptor for the given NTFS File path.
' - specify a Registry path
'
Set oRegSD = oADsSecurityUtility.GetSecurityDescriptor(sRegKey, _
ADS_PATH_REGISTRY, ADS_SD_FORMAT_IID)
'
' Get the Discrectionary ACL for the key.
'
Set oDACL_ACEs = oRegSD.DiscretionaryAcl
Call CheckDacl(oDACL_ACEs, iAccessMask, sGroupName, sRegKey, _
sAccessText, iAttribCounter, iGroupCounter)
Set oADsSecurityUtility = Nothing
Set oRegSD = Nothing
Set oDACL_ACEs = Nothing
End Sub
===================================
Hope this may someone else.
