Detailed report for server folders including permissions

  • I have a need for a report that describes folder and sub folders on a server including permissions at each level.
    Does such a beast exist?

    I have a need for a report that describes folder and sub folders on a server including permissions at each level.

    A couple of things to try and see if they work for you would be AccessChk - it's one of the sysinternal tools:
    AccessChk v6.12

    Powershell  and the Get-Acl cmdlet. Something like:
    Get-ChildItem C: | Get-Acl
    Would just go through the top level of the drive. You would add -recurse to get all subdirectorys on down:
    Get-ChildItem C: -recurse | Get-Acl

    There are likely others options you can use. Those are the ones I've used

  • What would really be excellent is a way to script the folders and subfolders and their permissions.    Would make it easy to install on a new server.
