Using VBScript to convert binary SDDL to a usable format
I see your point...yes I probably should have stuck with saying that I don't know whether or not is possible to accomplish what I am trying to with VBScript. On the MSDN website I found a method for doing what I want to but they are only supported on Windows Vista and Server 2008 so I assumed... -
