Have you ever timed the sort of process you're suggesting (shelling xcalcs) compared to setting the permissions from in the script? I'd imagine there's an overhead to the process creation but the actual processing by xcacls might then be faster than a vbscript calling a DLL.
I know I could do it myself but there's a million other things to do and I'd be interested to know whether there's a speed gain!

We are using Windows Server 2003 and AD with a single domain. I know how to create the user accounts and home folders but not sure the best approach to assign the permissions. Any suggestions on doing all three or at least the permissions part.
