I have a network drive with numerous folders, sub folder and files. Each folder, obviously, has its own DACL, each with various entries. What I want to do is remove all entries from all DACL's without having to go through each folder and deleting the entries. Is this possible?

Please advise.
Thanks.
 
xcacls and a vbscript which runs through a list of folders from a text file, for instance. Check out the vbscript forum, there may even be a basic example there.
I'm working on one currently to do something simlar-it will remove perms and then grant by group. It's a bit of a side project at the mo though so won't be ready until i get time to work on it.
do xcacls /? at a cmd prompt for options.
