There is a free download from Microsoft Resource kite

1. Map a drive letter to the users folder with the home
directories. Most home directories are the person's
username. Go to command prompt at that folder and type
dir > users.txt
This sill give you a text file with the
usernames/folder names.

2. Open it up in Excel and say it is space deliminated.
This will give a column of just usernames. Delete
everything else. Use the other columns to fill in the
commands of the batch file.

Hello, I was curious as to whether or not there are any

scripts available to modify already created share
permissions for specific users in bulk?

My case is a user's home folder, and in this case we're

talking 7000+ users. The Administrators group has full
control to the share and the user has read access to
their home folder share and I'd like to find either a
script/batch file, or utility that is able to give each
user change rights for their own account to that share.

Ex. share > smithb$ ACL= READ (Want to change to ACL= CHANGE)
share > jonesr$ ACL= READ (Want to change to ACL= CHANGE)
As you can see the script would need to toggle the

change right for only the corresponding user on each home
folder.
