Icacls e:\*.* /grant domain\backupuser:F /T /C Or
Icacls e:\*.* /grant "domain\backup operators":F /T /C I would do the second as there might be user rights issues. After that, sounds like you might start with Dumpsec and see what's left from ownership issues: http://www.somarsoft.com/ -Bonnie From: Joseph L.

There may still be some issues pertaining to ownership and me not being able to access the files to add the perm. How could I traverse the entire structure, and search for what few mods he made with ownership while removing all sec groups/users except those who use the data? What a mess... jlc From: Michael B.

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 :) Thanks! jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
