RE: non-local admin revisited
Yeah, I wasn't too clear from David's post though if it hat was the intention or if it was to try and stop people throwing on whatever they want. I'd either go with UAC or have a local account on each machine and use it for Run As when needed - I've not played too much with restricted groups but AFAIK it overwrites the local admins group rather than appending it which I'd find a little (pardon the pun) restrictive.

Re: non-local admin revisited
I run with a non-privileged account on my Win7 workstation and have an admin account that I supply to UAC whenever I need to run anything with higher-level privileges. This works great for me, I am happy that I can't be tricked into anything without seeing the prompt. It's a *little *annoying when I have to launch a Citrix Delivery Services Console, a custom MMC and a PowerShell window with Run as administrator every time I log in, but that's the trade-off for higher security. I also like the way Restricted Groups GPOs blat the whole group down rather than appending and we use this in addition to dual accounts and UAC. It certainly ensures the only people with local admin access to our workstations or servers are the accounts that we have deigned shall have it.

RE: non-local admin revisited
1. Facilitates such minutiae as being able to maintain a more accurate software inventory which plays directly to software licensing compliance. 2. Prevents (or at least hinders) a user from making (read: inadvertently allowing) system-wide changes to their machine that creates problems difficult for Service Desk to repair. 3. Prevents them (or at least makes it more inconvenient, which is sometimes the same thing) from loading unauthorized applications.

RE: Security IT to employee ratio
I would also start to look at what the business requirements are. One FTE is going to cover 40 hours out of a 168 hour week (assuming no leave). Does someone need to monitor things (like your IDS/IPS) during non-business hours? In a much larger org, we have dedicated teams for AV, desktop patching, network patching, server patching (Windows and *nix), event monitoring/correlation, incident response and so on. This is all driven by either (a) SLAs/OLAs and (b) patching cycles. We work from those requirements to work out how many people we need, based on how quickly we need to turn things around.

Screw anything I walk into, because logically there should be doors that automatically open in the direction I need to go. Screw how things currently exist, because I think I know how they should exist for me. Because I know better. Better than anyone else. All must bend to my will. And whatever people do now, they will change on the drop of a dime at my request. Because user [re]education is akin to waving a magic wand. What I say goes. The world will fall in-line.

Re: file searching and copying
You're going to have to script that, certainly.
You could use robocopy or xcopy or do the whole thing in powershell, but no
native tool provides the logic you want without some form of scripting.
For instance, assuming that you were going to start in the C:\TEMP folder,
and search for something:
@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /f tokens=* %%v in ('dir /ad /b /s C:\Temp\*.*' ^| FIND /I
something) do (
SET @DIR=%~fpv
ECHO Copying !@DIR!
XCOPY !@DIR! D:\SomeDestination /S /E /R /Y
)

I'd also note that the /mir switch may not be exactly the option you want with

Re: file searching and copying
Thanks all. Scott's suggestion is close and at least got me pointed in the right direction. Some of the paths are too long for DIR which throws a wrench in the works, so I'm going to have to rely on windows search for now. Powershell, unfortunately, currently isn't an option.

yeah, I figured that one out pretty quickly.

RE: file searching and copying
So, you are searching a whole tree? Seems like you'd end up with duplicates if
the search terms show up at one level and a sublevel. If you're just searching
one level, you might try subst to shorten the paths. For instance, if your base
is c:\long\path\to\root, you can run subst x: c:\long\path\to\root to trim a
bunch off the length.

RE: file searching and copying
Nice to see pushd and popd making an appearance :)
Few nits and questions, just to make sure I'm not missing something:
1. The echo in front of xcopy shouldn't be there. I'm sure it's just
there for troubleshooting and left as an oversight. The /s /e is redundant,
right?
2. I'm not very practiced with the enhanced ~ substitution, but couldn't
the SET @DIR=%%~fpv line omit the p?
3. I think the ECHO DEST: %@DEST%\%%~pv line has an extra \
4. I think the xcopy's destination parameter (%@DEST%%%~pv) needs to be
%@DEST%%%~pnv. Without it, the files get copied into the corresponding
parent on the destination.
5. Is there any way to get the parentheses code blocks work from the
command line or do they need to be inside of a .bat? I've tried stringing the
commands together with , but met with limited success.
Possible drawback to this method:
The destination path will contain the full path of the source. For instance, if
the source root is C:\a\b\c and it contains a folder called Search_Term, and we
wan't the destination to be D:\, when we run the script, the destination will
contain D:\a\b\c\Search_Term, which may not be the goal.
In the end, I don't think this is getting any better results the my original
line. The 2NUL is just hiding the failures.
Thanks for the script though, it was fun to digest :)

I'm attempting to search for particular words in a directory name (must use
wildcards!), and, if found, copy the the directory tree while maintaining its
structure to another directory.
Are there any native tools (or reskit like robocopy) that can accomplish this
somewhat easily?

RE: file searching and copying
Ok, my last post on this todayI think :)
for /f tokens=* %i in ('dir * WORDS_TO_SEARCH * /s/ad/b') do robocopy /mir
%i DESTINATION_PATH\%~pni
Adding the %~pni will prevent every copy from overwriting the previous. This
will recreate your entire tree at the destination similar to Andrew's script
below which may or may not be what you want. You can change it to \%~ni so
that each source directory gets copied to the root of the destination, but any
duplicates will overwrite each other so /mir may not be the best option.
As far as paths that are too long, robocopy will handle paths up to 32,000
characters, but the dir command is the limiting factor here. In any case, you
should be able to see the paths that don't get copied and do those manually,
but the others should work.

Subject: RE: file searching and copying
Nice to see pushd and popd making an appearance :)
Few nits and questions, just to make sure I'm not missing something:
1. The echo in front of xcopy shouldn't be there. I'm sure it's just
there for troubleshooting and left as an oversight. The /s /e is redundant,
right?
2. I'm not very practiced with the enhanced ~ substitution, but couldn't
the SET @DIR=%%~fpv line omit the p?
3. I think the ECHO DEST: %@DEST%\%%~pv line has an extra \
4. I think the xcopy's destination parameter (%@DEST%%%~pv) needs to be
%@DEST%%%~pnv. Without it, the files get copied into the corresponding
parent on the destination.
5. Is there any way to get the parentheses code blocks work from the
command line or do they need to be inside of a .bat? I've tried stringing the
commands together with , but met with limited success.
Possible drawback to this method:
The destination path will contain the full path of the source. For instance, if
the source root is C:\a\b\c and it contains a folder called Search_Term, and we
wan't the destination to be D:\, when we run the script, the destination will
contain D:\a\b\c\Search_Term, which may not be the goal.
In the end, I don't think this is getting any better results the my original
line. The 2NUL is just hiding the failures.
Thanks for the script though, it was fun to digest :)
