Setting Permissions with a script

[clonny2]

what is a good method to create a directory tree and setup permissions with a script.

I have tried cacls. xcacls, xcalcs.vbs, SetACL.exe and none of them seem to work 100%. Each has issues in one way or another.

What i am trying to do is create a script that will create a directory tree and assign specific permissions so that i can test some backup applications.

What issues have you had with cacls? I've used it frequently enough and not noticed any.

XCACLs works great with vbscript. The key with it is that you must set ALL the permissions you want. It will wipe out any existing permissions.

I hope you find this post helpful.
