I've got a user account that has extensive NTFS permissions on a directory structure. I want to create a group with identical permissions. Is there any quick way to do this? Manually setting up the permissions would take ages. I could script it, but that would still take a long time to write and test the script, and scripting permission changes always seems to mess up inheritance. Does anyone know if there's any quick way to do this?

Hello, you can configure that manually or via scripts.
