List Server Shares and Folder Permissions

[JCDugas]

Does anyone know of a tool to list what shares are available on a server and what the ntfs permissions are set at?

I need to review my entire network and list all sources with potential ePHI. (HIPAA)

Thanks

Sysinternals has a utility which will list the permission on a folder and its sub-folders. I think you need to manually tell it which objects to look at.

Are you looking for a tool that automatically scans your network for shares?

Thanks enbw!

Do you know of such a tool besides the sysinternals one?

No,

But maybe some sort of auditing tool may do this or some network security software. It will cost.

Try Dumpsec.

sells a product called Hyena that handles all sorts of AD management, including auditing file shares and permissions on servers and workstations.

I've had excellent experiences with this particular tool.

The command "Net Share" will display a list of shares on a server.

The resource kit command "Cacls" will display NTFS permissions on a directory structure.

The reskit VB script SHARE.VBS will remotely share or unshare directories on remote servers. (really good for unsharing...can enter security credentials in the script)

The reskit tool RMTSHARE will remotely share or unshare directories on a remote server (and allow you to set share permissions).


Although, the third party tools are better, these free commands can get the job done cheaply.
