Permissions change, single folder -- on every PC

[Guest]

Hi,

Which would be the most expeditious method to push out (in bulk numbers) a
permission change to a folder on every PC? The folder already exists on all
PC/Laptops; I need to allow Read Only access to this folder for a specific
security group.

Roughly 850 PC/Laptops....

thx,

Jim

If you have a Active Directory domain, probably a startup script would be easiest.

You could use psexec from sysinternals, assuming you have a list of computer
names, but this sort of approach is only really feasible if all the machines are
live on the network at the same time.

Thanks, I believe this will work. Yes, it is an AD network, and eventually
they will all end up touching the network, at which time I can push the
script to all units.

thanks again,

Jim
