VBS > Cacls > Query Directory Permissions

I am looking to use vbscript to query a directory for a specific groups permissions??


I have searched the internet for days now and I can not find ANYTHING that seems to help.I am either looking to use vbs to directly query the directory/group permissions and generate a true/false statement or I am willing to do a vbs batch script call, this would run cacls and dump the results to a text file, then vbs would continue with an if statement to look for group, Built In\Administrators, and the associated file permission, F.


VBS Script Flow:

VBS executes > Runs cacls.bat ( which executes cacls c:\WINDOWS\system32\config > %computername%_cacls.txt )

Then once the text file has been generated (perform a check for %computername%_cacls.txt) look through the lines for the user group Built In\Administrators.
If the Built In\Administrators:*F* then true (* = wildcard)
If the Built In\Administrators: does not have the property then false.


ANY AND ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED, I am on a time table so HUGE thanks to anyone that replys.
