Re: Exporting Share Permissions

Hello David,

Thanks for the reply.

As far as I know, there is no such tool to dump the share permissions to a
text file.

As for the registry key, yes, windows stores the NTFS permission's with the
file but the share information along with share permissions are stored in
registry as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares.

To restore the share permission, please follow the steps below.

1. Restore the folder from the backup to the original location.

2. Restore the system state to an alternate location.

3. Open the regedit.exe

4. Highlight the HKLM and go to File-->Load Hive.

5. Browse to the location where the system state was restored.

6. Select the "System" Registry file and click ok.

7. Give a name "backup Registry".

8. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Backup
registry\ControlSet001\Services\lanmanserver\Shares.

9. Export the registry key.

10. Follow the article below to restore share permissions.

As for restoring the share permission for only one partition instead of the
entire O/S, please check the registry key and make some tests. Also please
take a look at the article 265704. I believe they are helpful.
