Get security settings on a file share

[dgs]

Hi,

I am new to autoit and this forum so please be patient with me. thanks

I am automating a process at work and they want me to have the user type in a file share path into a box and then they want me to get the file share security settings and let the user pick one of them, then add the user to that AD security group.

I just need help getting the security settings so i can let the user pick it. I will figure out how to add the user to the AD group.

Thanks in advance.

I will figure out how to add the user to the AD group.

This can easily be done using my Active Directory UDF.

can i use your Active Directory UDF to get the security settings on the file share when the person types it into the input box, and then put them in the AD group after the person chooses it from the list of security groups associated to that share?

sorry for the long sentence.

thanks

Unfortunately you can only do the AD stuff with my UDF (add a user to an AD group).

I don't know how to get the securtity settings of a file share. Maybe another UDF on the forum can access this information.

I knew that your AD UDF could add a user to an AD group, but I really need to know how to get the security settings for the file share. thanks for your assistance.

Hi.

Maybe this is a start to solve your task using WMI:

You could use the icacls.exe tool in the background.

icacls.exe serversharepath

Output:

serversharepath  NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                     BUIILTINAdministrators:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                     DOMAINYOURGROUP-MODIFY:(OI)(CI)(RX,W,DC)
                     DOMAINYOURGROUP-READ:(OI)(CI)(RX)

You'll have to figure out what the exp<b></b>ressions in the brackets mean. You can find the description everywhere.
