Using cacls.exe within VBScript.

[PompeyDuck]

Hi,

I'm trying to check for particular user permissions on over 1500 directories, and cannot seem to get cacls.exe to pipe out the information to a file. I am on an NT Domain. My script does not error, but does not pipe the information to a txt file which I then want to read through for a certain string. I have proved that I have the permission to pipe files the the directory, as the script starts by taking a directory list and pipes that to a file, which I then read line by line and runnign a cacls against each entry.

Many thanks.

Have you tried the StdOut or StdErr property of the WshScriptExec object ?

Hope This Help

PHV have the good approach.
Just have a look to FAQS. I wrote one on "how to retrieve the results of command lines", based on StdOut Property.

Happy coding
