User permissions audit tools.

[Guest]

I just took over as Network administrator for a company with under 50
employees. The previous N.A. didn't use groups and gave users access
depending on their department, etc. What I would like to do is setup groups
for easier maintenence. Is there a utility, either MS or third party, that
will give me each users access rights and permissions to directories and
folders on a 2000 server? If I can only get the directories, that is fine,
but if I can get all information, that would be great.

Thank you.

cacls.exe will do what you want. The syntax to just read the permissions
is:

cacls [path] /t

where [path] is the path to the directory you want to look at. For
instance:

cacls c:\ /t

will show you all the permissions for every file on the c:\ drive.
