Thanks for the suggestions Meinolf. I played around with this utility a bit
and found it to be pretty useful, but it doesn't seem to have all of the
functionality I need.
One thing it is lacking is the ability to list folders/files/etc. that have
a specific group listed in their permissions. instead, the utility seems to
list all the files/folders/etc. to which that specific group has access.
This means if the group is a member of another group and that other group is
listed in the permissions for a resource, that resource would be listed.
The other problem: it doesn't look like the utility can operate on AD
objects/settings. For example, if I had a GPO that was based on this group,
I wouldn't be able to find it using this utility.
Thanks,
MG
