Casale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 2:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Modify NTFS Perms My last IT guy who just left last night made a mess of perms of a file server. I need to add without disturbing any existing perms a user for the backup to get access. I tried icacls on this win2k3r2 file server and I must be doing something wrong. Lets say I have a volume with ~750gig of data all with different acls. I wanted to add a user, Domain\BackupUser to all files, and set folders to propagate this added acl into anything new a users creates in the folders. Anyone got any pointes on this? I am about to pass out with stress being the only guy today with a busted SQL and Backup server J Thanks! jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
