Hi everyone, I have attached a picture. I have a rather complex privileges rules to directories and I have 100s of them with 100s of different users. Is there an easy one line type of command that would allow me assign all privileges I want to a directory rather than clicking 100 x 5 clicks = 500 clicks :-) Check this picture to see what I mean: Thanks

Icacls.exe can be used to assign permission. It has various options you can get more information about it @ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753525(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_examples As an example following command will set Extended Read and Extended Write to D:\TestFolder Directory. icacls d:\testFolder /grant administrator:(REA,WEA) -CrDev Blogs: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/satyem

I would suggest for simplicity that you run "icacls D:\testFolder" that will list the current permissions so you just can copy instead of trying to get all the parameters right.Oscar Virot
