Used to be a utility called DumpACL, maybe now called DumpSec that may help... Not sure if it is as 'powerful' as you want but is still good for documenting for recovery and audits
-----Original Message----- From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 11:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Documentation, Restore and snapshoting of Server permissions software question To the list, After much angst and nagging, I have been given the go ahead to take a look into software that will do the following. For those with experience in using software to cover these areas and others, please feel free to chime in what has worked well for you and your staffs. I need the software to do the following. 1) Snapshot the NTFS/Share permissions on a server by server basis over time, to assist in recovery if my helpdesk etc etc steps on the permissions and causes issues with the servers. ( I believe Scriptlogic and Security Explorer and a few others in this realm I have seen but not played with personally) 2) Eventlog management tools to track, alert, manage and archive logs to a SQL Database or other remote medium for auditing and compliance. I can see this with both Agent based and non-agent based deployments. ( GFI, SMS, MOM, Configuresoft, Netpro, Quest, etc etc?) I am looking to track the following: AD changes, modifications, down to an attribute level, server permission changes, additions, deletes at the file and folder level, with a nice reporting mechanism accordingly, to get proactive with this) ( Also its an internal audit recommendation) Feel free to chime in on the good/bad/ugly of the situation.
