Adding additional ntfs Permissions onto all folders (and subfolders) even if inheritabled permissions are off
Hello,
i do have a file server here in the company wich growed over the last years worse and worse.
I found out that there are a lot of files/folders where also the admin do not have access rights to. We need to delegate the rights to change the permissions to the helpdesk wich is for shure not admin onto the file server itself.
Now i do need to find a power shell command or a vb script (xcacls) or something like that, which is allowing me to ADD ADDITIONAL rights for a group or a user to all folders i do have onto a Volume or share or path .. whatever. The result shud be that the actually rights are not changed, just added with another modify rights to the specified usergroup.
The trick is it should be also working for such folders where the inheritable permission is set to off ..
Anyone can help me please ?
Many thanks in advance ..

Well, if using the GUI you go into the advanced section, see who the owner is. you may have to take over. Make sure Admin is added and it is set to do so for all subfolders.

The Problem there is that even when i took the ownership he did not save it . . strange . . what i did now is used xcacls.vbs (edited the supported version and added 6.1 for windows server 2008 r2) and run it with the following command:
xacls.vbs "datasource" /E /T /G "usernametoadd":F
after that i could see the owenership again (local admin) now trying to sort out different error messages from the command line like: Permissions denied and Path not found
xacls.vbs "datasource" /E /T /G "usernametoadd":F

Sorry..I've been on vacation.... Glad it looks like you have solved the problem.

also the cacls is just doing one folder and his subfolder . . but does not add the permissions onto the 3rd or 4th subfolder as wished when the inheritance is broken . .
