View all folders unchecked for "allow inheritable permissions"

[Guest ryanlsanders@gmail.com]

I need to pull a listing of all folders on a file server that has the

"Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this

object" check box cleared.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Try this batch file:

01. @echo off

02. set Target=D:\User Files

03. set LogFile=c:\NoInherit.txt

04. rem Requires fileacl.exe, downloadable from

05. rem

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=723f64ea-34f0-4e6d-9a72-004d35de4e64&displaylang=en

06.

07. echo Inheritance checked on %date% at %time% > "%LogFile%"

08. echo ==================================================== >> "%LogFile%"

09. echo.

10. echo Compiling the folder list . . .

11. dir /ad /b /s "%Target%" > "%temp%\dir.txt"

12. echo The following folders do not have inheritance set: >> "%LogFile%"

13. for /F "delims=" %%a in ('type "%temp%\dir.txt"') do call :Sub %%a

14. notepad "%LogFile%"

15. goto :eof

16.

17. :Sub

18. echo Checking "%*"

19. fileacl.exe "%*" /raw | find /i "" > nul || echo %* >> "%LogFile%"

Looked like a winner but spawned about 3000 cmd processes before I

stopped it. I tried this from both a remote terminal session and at

the console.

 

Server 2003 R2 SP2

 

I'll look into using the fileacl.exe and see if I can get something

useful out of it.

 

Any ideas why it spawned so many processes?

 

Thanks!

Re: View all folders unchecked for "allow inheritable permissions"

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I see no reason why you should get more than one

process. I suspect you caused this yourself, by

calling your batch file "fileacl.bat". This would be

a very bad idea.
