Need sample powershell script to revoke the access -Urgent

I would like to have a script which will revoke all folder permission except for few users.
And it should repeat the same for all child folder  and files.

Appreciate your help!!!

¿>>Create the file text.txt and set the required permissions on that file.<<

i need remove all other groups& user permission except for below groups.How to do it?
BUILTIN\Administrators
domain\group1
domain\group2
domain\group3
create a file and add those 4 permissions and then run the above commands
For trial I would suggest
copy one of your folders whose permissions you want to work on and run the command on the copied folder
I'm getting below error.

I would just use icacls (assuming Vista+, cacls for WinXP) for this.  If you know of specific users that you need to remove you can use the remove switch, otherwise you'd probably want to reset the perms to the defaults that are inherited, and then add the specific allow permissions and set inheritance as desired.
Hello Footech,

It's win 2003 server.  There are multiple users having access to different folder where they shouldn't be. From the root folder there approx 75000 sub folders having different users permission for each of them.

I know set groups which must alone have access to these folders. Some how it has been a security breach in the production.Now i want to clean them of.

How to do it?
