Hello, I need to know if WMI can Set ACL to Folders on remote server for the local groupe of this server? I need your Help.

use xcacls. It has remote server support. It is a 4000+ lines VBS, you can certainly dig the provider name if you want to integrate into your own process.

Thanks Sheng for your reply,but i need to do it with VB.Net,does xcacls can do this Settings ?

Yes the functionality is implemented by those WMI providers. The VB script is just a client. You can call the same providers in VB.net without too many change from VBS, I guess.

I have a web server(where the web site is deployed)+file server (files storage),and i want to Set acl on folders and files (stored in this file server) for the local groupes of this file server ? Thank you very much for your help.

Sorry I don't know any tutorials about using the particular providers (Win32_ACE and Win32_SecurityDescriptor). You can find some code samples and articles if you search the names of the WMI providers.

One KB supports Xcalcs tool: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318754 Move to TechNet server forum, it is not a software development compatibility issue.
