I've tried it both ways, with and without quotes, no luck. It deletes all users.

If xcacls.vbs works the same as cacls.exe, you will need to include the /e switch to "edit" the permissions. If not then the permissions specified are the only ones the object will have. Sorry I did not catch this one sooner...

I'm following the directions from this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825751#

when I try to use the /r switch to remove rights for a particular user, it removes rights for all users - when I pull up the security settings, absolutely no one is listed...I have to add administrator in and give them full rights so that I can delete the folder.

I'm using this:

scacls.vbs "C:\test" /r "myuser"

(where myuser is an actual name on the server).


I've tried it with the quotes and without...both do the same thing.

I believe the user should be either:

MyComputer\UserName

or

MyDomain\UserName

The first is a local account called "UserName" on the computer with NetBIOS name "MyComputer". The second is a domain account with NT name (pre-Windows 2000 logon name) of "UserName" in the domain with NetBIOS name "MyDomain". I would use quotes, since the examples in the link use them and it can't hurt.
