List existing file server permission groups/users
- by Patrick
So we have taken over a new client and their existing file server is frankly a mess.
We have migrated their old file server from a 2k box to a 2k8 DFS cluster and now I'm looking at rebuilding both the folder structure and their permissions. Unfortunately its been half done with AD groups (poorly named/no description/notes) and half with individuals named in security on the folders themselves.
What I'm looking to do is to dump a complete list of all the folders with their security permissions (ideally I'd like to ignore files but not essential).
CACLS got me half way there but fails with an odd error message and its output isn't particularly user friendly and I'm working with roughly 2Tb/250,000 files here so I really need something that gives me a bit more functionality.
Question : does anyone have any experience of something similar/know of a bit of software that might help me out?
