Directory/Folder operations

[SamCobb]

I am trying to find a way to script a solution to resetting ownership on folder and their files/folders below in a Windows 2003 environment. I am surprised not to find some of this functionality in AutoIT.

Thanks

Not my field, but does the stuff in Net Share management udf do what you want it to?

Some but it's still very limited.

Search the forum for cacls(.exe) and you will find some help there

EDIT: You may also try xcacls as a search on the forum

EDIT EDIT: Try this page "How to use Xcacls.vbs to modify NTFS permissions"

Try this (WMI version):

;Coded by UEZ 2010
#RequireAdmin
$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel = impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")

$file = FileOpenDialog("Select file to reset ownership from current user.", "", "(*.*)")
If @error Then Exit
Set_OwnerShip($file)

Func Set_OwnerShip($file)
    $file = StringReplace($file, "\", "\\")
    Local $colItems, $colItem
    $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From CIM_DataFile Where Name = '" & $file & "'", "WQL", 0x30)
    If IsObj($colItems) Then
        For $objItem In $colItems
            $objItem.TakeOwnerShipEx
        Next
        Return SetError(0)
    Else
        Return SetError(1)
    EndIf
EndFunc
