folder security structure to text file

[NickS]

Does anyone know of a tool that will allow me to redirect all folder security of one server to a text file. The structure is so complex that it would be very helpful to have in case of system failure.

Thanks
Nick

There's the showacls.exe tool in the win2k resource kit. Just a warning though, it will probably generate a several hundred page document if you run it on the entire contents of a server.

Example of showacls.exe

C:\Program Files\Resource Kit>showacls /s ./test
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\./test
BUILTIN\Users Special Access [RX]
BUILTIN\Power Users Special Access [RWXD]
BUILTIN\Administrators Special Access [A]
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Special Access [A]
CREATOR OWNER Special Access [A]

C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\test\sample
BUILTIN\Users Special Access [RX]
BUILTIN\Power Users Special Access [RWXD]
BUILTIN\Administrators Special Access [A]
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Special Access [A]
CREATOR OWNER Special Access [A]


C:\Program Files\Resource Kit>

That's on just a single folder and it's subfolder. Might be something to think about with the number of folders on a server. Marc Creviere
