$Properties = Name'=$Folder.FullName 'Group/User'=$Access.IdentityReference 'Permissions'=$Access.FileSystemRights 'Inherited'=$Access. $FolderPath = Get-ChildItem -Directory -Path "C:\temp" -Recurse -Force The final output ($Output) is then piped to Out-GridView so that you can sort and filter the results. A second ForEach loop formats each access control entry (ACE) into an ordered list, pulling out just the information that we need, making the results easy to read. The script below puts the folder hierarchy into a variable ($FolderPath) and then passes each folder to Get-Acl in the first ForEach loop. So, if you want to know the permissions set on all folders in a directory tree, you need to use the Get-ChildItem cmdlet with the -Recurse parameter to list all the folders in the tree and then pass the results to Get-Acl using a ForEach loop. Get-Acl cannot recursively return all the permissions of folders in the hierarchy. The example below gets the permissions set on the C:\temp folder and all the available properties. The PowerShell Get-Acl cmdlet can be used to return permissions on objects like files, folders, and registry keys. Get-NTFSAccess -Path $folderpath -Account $domainGroup | Remove-NTFSAccessĪfter running this script, ACLs on the folders are clean.How to use Get-Acl cmdlet to Get an NTFS Permissions Report Get-NTFSAccess -Path $folderpath -Account $localgroup | Remove-NTFSAccess Set-Acl -Path $folderpath -AclObject $acl

The first PowerShell cmdlet used to manage file and folder permissions is. $acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($True, $True) Each user on the network has at least one shared folder he can use to share. $folderlist = Get-childitem -path $folderRoot I used the NTFSSecurity module for the Get-NTFSAccess and Remove-NTFSAccess cmdlet. The following script will disable inheritance So I decided to use PowerShell to clean up this mess. There are multiple folders with wrongly inherited permissions. The Get-Acl cmdlet in PowerShells Security module () does a great job of getting file or folder permissions (aka the Access.

During the migration I used Robocopy to copy the whole data and the NTFS rights to Netapp. This week I moved all the data from a Windows file server to a Netapp CIFS share for a client.
