Permissions change, single folder -- on every PC
Hi,
Which would be the most expeditious method to push out (in bulk numbers) a permission change to a folder on every PC? The folder already exists on all PC/Laptops; I need to allow Read Only access to this folder for a specific security group. Roughly 850 PC/Laptops.... thx, Jim |

If you have a Active Directory domain, probably a startup script would be easiest. You could use psexec from sysinternals, assuming you have a list of computer names, but this sort of approach is only really feasible if all the machines are live on the network at the same time.

Thanks, I believe this will work. Yes, it is an AD network, and eventually
they will all end up touching the network, at which time I can push the script to all units. thanks again, Jim "Harry Johnston" wrote: Jim wrote: Which would be the most expeditious method to push out (in bulk numbers) a permission change to a folder on every PC?
