Imagine several file servers with NT4 that are upgraded to 2k Server and then again to Server2k3*. During this time folders were created and removed, now after years of just carrying over old security settings without questioning why, the DC is full of Security Groups that may or may not be used any longer or may even be redundant.
I am trying to go through and fix/comment 700+ security groups to bring some sense to this mess and was wondering if there is a way for a server to export the names of the groups that have permission to files on the server and possibly what folders they have permission to access or to even have active directory list off where the groups are being implemented.

*Using NTFS security and Active Directory
 
You can use XCACLs to generate a report of file/folder permissions.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Thanks Mark. looks like that will help. it'll take a bit to clean it up, but isn't that's what interns are for.
 
Exactly!

The output of XCACLs is not pretty, but it can be useful.

I hope you find this post helpful.
