Compare Windows File or Folder Permissions

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but didn't see one that exactly fit.
We are in the process of updating our ColdFusion Server that runs on our IIS webserver. We are having Windows authentication issues with IIS. I want an application that will compare the security permissions from one directory to another (same
files and structure). I swear I saw somewhere that this existed. Some permission is off and I haven't figured out what. We keep coming back to this error.
I want to use this application to scan for directories/files with different permissions between the two locations.
Thanks in advance!

You can right-click on a track, select Show in Windows Explorer from the menu that appears, select the file, press CTRL+C to copy, then select your backup folder and press CTRL+V to paste.

File and folder permissions for Adobe Photoshop CS5

Good day,
I am an IT specialist and I work for a Canadian governement agency and we are having an issue with Photoshop CS5. After successfully installing Photoshop CS5 from the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium set(using a local machine administrator account), Photoshop crashes immidiatly after launching it(even with the local administrator account). The exact error message is as follows:
The instruction at "0x230dad8dc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
I know this is an environement issue and not an application or hardware issue since I was able to successfully install and run Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a plain vanilla install of Windows SP3 XP on the same model of workstation(HP DC7800). This later also confirms it is not a RAM or video adapter issue either. My experience tells me it would be more related to file/folder permissions on the workstation(although I'm open to other suggestions). Because we are a governement agency, our workstations have machine and user policies and desktop configurations that get applied to the workstations automatically upon joining our domain via GPOs and SMS. Certain system files and folder permissions may be locked down for security reasons therefor I was wondering is someone has a list of files and folders that Adobe CS5 needs access to upon startup in order to properly function?
If anyone would like more details or information please let me know and I'll try to be more specific.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read and help out!

I appreciate that you're trying to surmise what's different, and it's good that you have had success with similar/identical hardware. At least you know it can work.
However, I wouldn't bet just yet that it's a permissions issue. I'd think you should get a specific error if a locked-down file needed to be accessed, not a null pointer crash. The Photoshop installer should be setting up the proper permissions on its own files for it to run.
Is it exactly the same video card as the other computer, on which Photoshop works?
Are you sure the video drivers are up to date with the same version as on the other computer?
At exactly what point during startup does the failure occur (i.e., is the splash screen showing, and what does the status line in the splash screen say it's doing)?

QTSS file and folder permissions

I am having a lot of problems getting QTSS and QTSS Publisher working correctly. I think this may be due to file and folder permissions. Does anyone know what the correct ownership and access settings should be for the folders containing my quicktime files?
Thanks.

Try setting the ownership and permissions of those files to the ones mentioned on the end of this page, which are: owner: qtss, group: admin, permissions for owner and group: Read & Write, and Read only for others.

How can Windows files and folder owners just vanish, and how to restore all of them at once?

See, we have a file server running windows 2003 at our company, and suddenly most of the files and subfolders permissions are gone, lost even the owner, making it unaccessible even for the administrator.
So since it happend out of nowhere it's most possible to be a system flaw, how can I retrieve all the permisisons back or how can I restore the owner(s) ? Using the "Copy permissions to all subfolders and ....>" does not work, it says it cannot
apply the changes to the files.
Can any1 help?

Hi,
Did you ever run chkdsk on a volume? If so, it could reset security descriptors and set NTFS permissions back to default.
You could install the hotfixs below to check results:
An update is available that lets the Chkdsk.exe tool compact the NTFS security descriptor stream in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2

Default File and Folder Permissions

Hello everyone,
Is there anyway to set a default file/folder permissions for a parent folder and then if any new files or folders get created within that folder that files use 0644 and folder use 0755? I'm running MAMP for a localhost test site to run Joomla CMS, I have the parent folder set to 0755 but when ever I install a new extension in to Joomla the files are not writable. Is there a way I can set the main parant plublic_html / www folder to work like this for new child files and folders?
Thanks guys.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Windows File Sharing Folder Name Error

Hi, I’m new to the forums but I really need help and I was hoping someone could help?
I’m using a Mac os x server. We are having problems with the Windows file sharing. When we share drives they share fine. But on windows machines some of the folders in these drives have problems. Some of the folders names in the share have different names.
For example in one folder we had a folder called “PROPOSALS” this is fine on the Mac workstations but on windows machines the folder name will show completely different on windows. The folder proposals showed as “PDJ45~6H”. This has happened all over the share to loads of folders at random. Thats not all though if we tried to open these folders we get an error saying that it’s not accessible.
This has happened all over the server meaning loads of data is inaccessible by some of us on windows machines. What is causing the problem and what can I do to sort this out?
Thanks Tom

More notes... If I enable firewall on the MiniMac and allow Windows File Sharing, the Mini Mac only responds on port 139 Not port 445. Good, this is the same as the iMac default behavior, however, the login still fails.

File and folder permissions for specific AD groups

Having a special folder over multiple servers that certain user groups can access with specific permissions I'd like to audit the security mappings using get-acl commandlet. It's easy for a single folder but I would need subfolders and files too. I know
I can assign a variable say $object = dir c:\MyShare -recurse and then would need to somehow pipe each object to get-acl and filter for the AD groups I'm interested in. Ideally if the results were then passed on to csv. Can someone help with getting
this to work?
yaro

Hi Yaro,
I checked your script, and found you haven't defined the variable $folder before use, please refer to the script below:
$folders = dir D:\TEST1 -recurse | where {$_.psiscontainer -eq $true}
foreach($folder IN $folders){
$folder|Get-Acl | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access | where {$_.identityreference -match "sys|Adm"}
Get-Acl $folder.fullname | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access | where {$_.identityreference -match "sys|Adm"} |
Select-Object @{n="object";e={ $folder.fullname }},
@{n="security_principal";e={ $_.identityreference }},
@{n="type";e={ $_.accesscontroltype }},
@{n="rights";e={ $_.filesystemrights }}
And to list the nested groups on local computer, please check this function writed by Boe Prox, which will also list the property "isGroup":
Get-LocalGroupMembership
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Anna Wang

Power shell script to list all files and folder permissions recursively

Hi All,
I am looking for a powershell script to perform the following operations.
1) To list the folder and file permissions(Allow,Deny both) recursively in a given folder.
2) List out all the files and folders which are having the deny permission or having only the read access (or) only the write access. Basically the folder should have Read,Execute,Write permissions. Else we have to flag that file/folder name.
I had written a batch script for the same which does this task using icacls.exe output, but this script takes lot of time to recursively parse all the files ( ~1 lakh files).
Please help me with the powershell script for the same.
Thanks
Sambasiva

Try this module: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PowerShellAccessControl-d3be7b83
After importing the module, you can run something like this:
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry
That output can be exported to a CSV for later viewing. You can also provide some parameters to Get-AccessControlEntry to limit the results:
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -FileRights Write
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -AceType AccessDenied
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -AceType AccessAllowed -FileRights Write

File and folder permissions

I just updated to Snow Leopard and created a new account. I moved my files to the new account and many but not all now require permission to do anything. I know how to change a file but the option to unlock, change a permission and "apply to enclosed items" is working for only enclosed folders but enclosed files. In the past I've sent files to my co-workers and self at work and worked with them with no problem. Now I can't use them on the same computer. What a pain. Please advise.
Thanks

I made a new account the normal way in System Prefs - Accounts then moved the files to a folder in the HD root directory. That was easy and many but not all files are problematic

Upgraded to Mavericks and now I can't compress files, move files, preview files or open files outside of their native application. Ran disk utilities multiple times and checked file and folder permissions. Any ideas?

For example, I'm trying ot move a group of jpgs from one folder ot another and it throws an 8058 error every time. PSD's won't open fromt he finder, it throws an application not found error even though I can open the same files from within the application.

Yep, same here. Cannot drag and drop copy with Mavericks. A copy paste throws a 8058 error.

File and folder sharing and permissions.

Many times when we copy files or folders to another mac computer, their permissions change, and many times the new user can not open it, until the file or folder permissions are changed. It start happen with MacOX 10.5, and still is happening with 10.7, with 10.5 we were waiting for the patch, but it never arrived, then I think is not a mistake for apple software developers??. But how can I solve this issue? the people need to interchage files and folders by USB, or network, and need to work as soon as possible with that materials and not loose time changing permissions. Someone knows what can I do to solve it?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

Mac OSX file copy to Windows Share folder permissions

We'd got a few Mac's, one is snow leopard and the other is Lion. The scenario is:
Mac:
Go > Connect to server > smb://servernamehere > Connect > select your share
The authentication box then pops up, they've been typing in a username and password to connect to Server 2008 (Active Directory here by the way). I don't think it matters if they type in "DOMAIN\username" and the password or just "username" and the password.
They try to copy files around but they get this wacky -xx number and their Macs lock up.
On the Windows Server Side I look at the folder permissions and the users they're using are all golden, full permissions. I look at a test folder I create and it too looks good.
The weird thing is this:
If I look at the folders on Windows it looks normal but if I open the command line on a Mac, do:
cd /
cd Volumes
ls
cd Folder_I'm_Connected_To
ls -la | grep testfolder_I_made
I get these results...
drwx------ 1 Their_Username_Here staff --> Some other stuff here like a folder size, date, time and the folder name
My question is this I guess.
Do I have to join these Macs to the Windows domain for the permissions and folder views on the Mac to look right AND to have them funtion properly? The user of the other Mac says she never types in any authentication stuff, she just clicks a folder shortcut on her Mac ans she's in.
I would expect the permissions to at least say something like:
drwxdrwx---
The Windows server doesn't have the group "staff" which makes it seem the Mac isn't looking at the mounted volume in the same way Windows is. They also had this problem on AFP and SMB shares directly on a FreeNAS box which is also BSD like a Mac.
As a result of the Macs behaving similarly on both Windows and BSD (FreeNAS) I think this seems to be some wacky Mac behavior and I just can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, same results at the terminal command on a SMB share, observed here with mac computers running with OsX 10.8 with Windows 2008 R2 SMB shares. My issue is that theses computers need to copy files on theses shares with Chronosync or Carbon Copy and this is not working due to an "modify file attributes permissions" error. But if I copy the files using "Finder" it works great.
You don't need to join your computers to your domain to get it to work. The error that you are talking about is the -5000 error ???

Outlook 2010 - Data File Properties/Folder Size verses Windows Explorer pst file size

I am running Outlook 2010 32bit Version 14.0.6129.5000 on a Windows PC running Windows 7 Professional. All updates from MS are up to date.
I have several pst files I open with Outlook 2010. The size of the files displayed in Outlook are very different than what is displayed in Windows Explorer.
For example one of the pst file called "business.pst" when opened Outlook displays it under "Data File Properties -> Folder Size" that the Total Size (including subfolders) is 764,354 KB. Windows Explorer says
the file size is 1,190,417 KB.
For some reason MS Outlook 2010 is displaying the wrong folder size. Any ideas why this is the case?
Thanks,
Pat

Outlook mailbox grows as you create and receive items. When you delete items, the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst and .ost) file might not decrease in proportion to the data that you deleted, untill it has been compacted.
Normally, after you have deleted items from an Outlook Data File (.pst), the file will be automatically compacted in the background when you’re not using your computer and Outlook is running.
For an exception, when the Outlook Data File (.pst) is somehow corrupt, the compaction might not finish correctly. So the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst) file might remain the same before compaction.
To solve this, try run the
scanpst to fix the Outlook Data File (.pst) file first, after that, we can
manually start the compact command.
When finished, compare the file size again.
