I am looking to find a tool that will document Windows 2000 permissions for
me. The tools I have tried so far seem to all report on every folder, not
just the folders where the permissions were applied, because obviously the
permissions flow down the file structure.
Technically any subdirectory or individual files MAY have different
permissions.
Unfortunately, unlike Novell where trustee are set on a particular folder
and then get inherited by sub folders without the trustees being applied
at
each level, Windows seems to stamp every folder but I only want to know
about
the folders where the permissions are actually applied.
Permission are actually inherited when the child object is created. The
permission
in both a very real and design sense are on the individual objects.
Inheritance is largely just a convenience for APPLYING those permissions.
Can anyone help?
You can certainly document them with something like SetAcl.exe (free) from
SourceForge.net.
SetAcl will not offer you a highly readable form, but it can be used to
script
the settings back into the system if they are ever changed or damaged.
