Thanks for the quick and certainly detailed answer. &nbsp;I feel like I've got a potential nuclear device in my hands now, but I will heed your advice and thoroughly test on something non-production.

Rant32,

Thanks for the quick and certainly detailed answer.  I feel like I've got a potential nuclear device in my hands now, but I will heed your advice and thoroughly test on something non-production.

Very useful, or very destructive, indeed. <br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've got a file structure similar to the following. &nbsp;Each line below represents a subfolder:<br />
<br />
Project<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Folder1<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Folder1a<br />
<br />
This structure exists for several hundred projects. &nbsp;I want to change the file permissions on the &quot;folder1a&quot;, but I don't want to go to each individual folder if possible. &nbsp;The new permissions would be identical for all of the projects.<br />
<br />
Is there a utility (or something built-in to Windows) to allow me to select all (or at least several) of the folders at once and set the permissions?<br />
<br />
The file system is Windows Server 2003.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Change File Permissions On Multiple Folders

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
