 Hi, I was hoping someone could help me with the following question.<br />
<br />
I've just inherited a new Windows 2003 SBS Server (Standard). There are a number of AD security group that exist on the server which don't appear to be doing much, but I'd like to know before I clean them up/delete them. How can I easily find out if they are assigned to grant access to to any shares/files/directories? I thought I could just do a search where group=&lt;groupname&gt; or something, but I can't work out how to do it. cacls only appears to let me set the acl, not determine if a group is in use.<br />
<br />
Many thanks in advance,<br />
Marcus.

Group assignment to Files/Directories

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
