File permissions to excel

Can anyone tell me why this script isn't working?
clear-host
$Servers = Get-Content("C:\Scripts\NextGen\Servers.txt")
$Excel = new-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$Excel.visible = $True
$Excel = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
$Sheet = $Excel.Worksheets.Item(1)
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1,1) = "Server Name - File Path"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1,2) = "FileSystemRights"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1,3) = "AccessControlType"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1,4) = "IdentityReference"
$intRow = 2
$WorkBook = $Sheet.UsedRange
$WorkBook.Font.Bold = $True
foreach ($server in $Servers)
$path = "\\$Server\C$\NextGen\RptSQLLog.log"
Get-Acl -path $Path | select -expand access | where { $_.IdentityReference -like "BUILTIN\Remote Desktop Users" }
$_.Access | % {
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 1) = $Path
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 2) = $_.FileSystemRights
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 3) = $_.AccessControlType
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 4) = $_.IdentityReference
$intRow = $intRow + 1
$WorkBook.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1).Font.Bold = $True
For my results, I don't get anything for the filesystemrights, Accesscontroltype or identityreference:
I am trying to audit a couple hundred servers for the Remote Desktop User permissions on a single specific file.

clear-host
$Servers = Get-Content("C:\Scripts\NextGen\Servers.txt")
$Excel = new-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$Excel.visible = $True
$Excel = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
$Sheet = $Excel.Worksheets.Item(1)
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1, 1) = "Server Name - File Path"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1, 2) = "FileSystemRights"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1, 3) = "AccessControlType"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1, 4) = "IdentityReference"
$intRow = 2
$WorkBook = $Sheet.UsedRange
$WorkBook.Font.Bold = $True
foreach ($server in $Servers)
$path = "\\$Server\C$\NextGen\RptSQLLog.log"
$Acl = Get-Acl -path $Path | select -expand access | where { $_.IdentityReference -like "BUILTIN\Remote Desktop Users" }
$FSR = $Acl.FileSystemRights
$ACT = $Acl.AccessControlType
$IR = ($Acl.IdentityReference).value
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 1) = $Path
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 2) = ([string]$FSR)
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 3) = ([string]$ACT)
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 4) = $IR
$intRow = $intRow + 1
$WorkBook.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 1).Font.Bold = $True
This should give you the information you are looking for.

  • Error reading zip file containing an excel file

    Hi all,
    Using servlets I am able to zip an excel file using java.util.zip package. The excel file is created using POI API.
    While I save and extract the zip file on my machine and then open the file in MS Excel. Excel pops a message saying "MS Office Excel has encountered a problem and need to close" and it gives me an option to "Recover my work and restart MS Office Excel". I select the option and then MS Excel does a document recovery and I am able to view my data. I get an excel repair log file saying as follows
    "Microsoft Office Excel File Repair Log
    Errors were detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\JohnDoe\Desktop\excel\test.xls'
    The following is a list of repairs:
    Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible. Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted.

    Jdcunha,
    I am new to the field but encountered the same problem and recently found a solution. Hope this helps.
    For my project I wanted to create individual Excel 2003 workbooks for each file I created. Excel would give me the same error it gave you when I used the same HSSFWorkbook object. I tried creating a new Workbook object each time, but ran into the same issue.
    I ended up fixing the error by creating a new instance of my write-to-excel class each time I wanted to create a new workbook, instead of just recreating a new HSSFWorkbook object. It works perfectly and the Excel errors don't show. It may also be important to note I used OutputStream, I did not try it with printwriter.

  • File permissions when copied from server

    When a user connects to a share and copies items to their own local desktop, should the permissions on the files stick with them once copied, or should the file permissions be inherited from the location they were copied to?
    Server: OS X Server 10.5.x
    Client: OS X 10.5.x

    Try this you say you are not using ACL's
    Good but wait for it
    Enable ACL to the disk, Do not set ACL permissions
    See what happens

  • Can't save BISM file pointing to excel sheet (data source). ErrMsg: "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."

    Hi,
    Me and a collegue is administrering our new enterprise BI portal in SharePoint 2013 (On Premise) and have a problem with using a specific Excel file including general ledger data as data source through a BISM file.

    BISM files against other Excel sheets and sources (for example SSAS tabular databases) works well.
    Can anyone help us pinpointing whats wrong here, this is a really important stakeholder in our organization requesting this reporting?

  • How do I stop DW CS6 randomly changing file permissions via FTP?

    How do I stop Dreamweaver CS6 12.0.1.5842 randomly changing file permissions when it uploads files to my web server via FTP.
    I can no longer trust Dreamweaver to upload websites correctly as it changes permissions on some files which then deny the server access to the file which in turn makes the webpage unreachable/return a 403 error.
    This is driving me insane.
    I'm using an early 2011 Macbook Pro 10.7.5.

    Hi,
    I'm having this problem too. Has Adobe fixed the issue yet? This appears to be an Adobe problem, not all the web hosts out there. CS6 is ramdomly (meaning: not every time) changing permissions on files uploaded with it and is not usable for web work until this problem is fixed by Adobe or a solution is provided. If I wanted to use a separate FTP program I would not have recommended that my employer buy multiple Adobe CS6 product licenses. One of the primary appeals of DW is the integration of FTP into the workflow.
    I am using a destop iMac2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    OSX 10.7.5
    I am using DW Version 12 Build: 5808
    Dreamweaver CS4 that I was using until this new purchase was working just fine. No file permisssion changes. I am being forced to go back to using it until Adobe posts a fix for this.
    I should ask while I'm here: has anyone found a solution for this yet?
    Thanks,

  • How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

    I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

    You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.

  • How can I Hide(not Disable) the Save As and Exit options in the File menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013?

    Hi,
    I want to hide(not disable) the "Save As" and "Exit" options in the File Menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013.When I make changes in the excelribbon.css file of xlviewer.aspx,all the options under File menu are getting hidden but
    I want to hide only these two options while retaining the others.
    Kindly suggest me a method to achieve this.
    Looking forward to your reply at the earliest.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sanjana

    Hi Sanjana,
    To hide the “Save As” and “Exit” options in xlviewer.aspx page in SharePoint, I recommend to use the code below(however it is not recommended):
    <style>
    div.cui-menusection li.cui-menusection-items:nth-child(2)
    display:none !important;
    div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_menuJewelSaveAs{
    display:none !important;
    div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_msJewelSecondary{
    display:none !important;
    </style>
    As “:nth-child()” selector is supported in IE 9 and later versions, please use IE 9 or later versions’ IE browser.

  • How can I repair file permissions?

    Greetings!
    Recently I get this warning when I do a File Permissions Repair with help of Distools:
    `Warning: SUID File `System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDagentApp/Contents/MacOS/ARDage nt` is changed and cannot be repaired.
    I did a few attempts to repair this file permission by hand and also used Onyx to repair this but when my Mac had a restart are the permissions again change to `only read` and do I get the same Warning.
    Shall I just let it be? Or what can I do to change this?
    With kind regards,
    Silvia

    That warning is on this list http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 and as per Apple can be safely ignored.

  • Time Capsule file permissions

    Whenever I copy a file to the time capsule (either via finder by moving it there, or via terminal with cp) the file permissions of the file end up with -rwxrwxrwx, independently whether the file was an executable, or whether it only had reading permissions for all or group. Running chmod on the Time Capsule files has no effect.
    This is really silly and makes the Airport Disk sharing useless. This way I will never share files with my friends over the Airport disk because the files loose their property and all files are executables at the end.
    Is there a way to mount or configure the Time Capsule so that it conserves the file permissions?
    I am aware that time capsule cannot handle different users, but at least it should conserve the file permissions. I imagine it could be like a scp or ftp of files to another server. My files on the other server will not have my user name, but at least they conserve the file permissions. A -rw-r-r- file will still be a -rw-r-r- file even if I copy it 10 times from one server to another.
    I would lik to encourage Apple to take this problem seriously and provide an update for this issue. So many other Apple products are just so well integrated in a networking environment, even if it is a heterogeneous one, but not Time Capsule with this flaw.
    Best wishes,
    Reto

    Agree, this is a serious flaw, that makes the device very dangerous to use as a central server for shared files, for example, the family's photograph collection. Since there appears to be no way to write protect anything, how can I ensure the files don't get modified or deleted?
    Here's a nasty case I am seeing:
    We unload a digital camera onto the TC's disk, then someone goes to their iPhoto app, and adds these files to their iPhoto library. Then they do something simple, like rotate the photos, and voila! The master file on the TC has now been modified! Horrible.

  • How to create .ctl (control file) to calide excel rows in ssis ?

    In my package i have a requirement to use .ctl control file to valide excel rows. can anyone tell me how to create a .ctl file which will have all of this information. 

    A few assumptions 1st:
    1) I understood the .ctl file can be any ASCII (flat) file of arbitrary format; and that
    2) You will drive the validation rules.
    Since you seem like want to apply the validation as the first step in your package I advocate plugging the Script Transformation task in which happens to expose the "ProcessInputRow" method that in turn allows a developer to intercept each row for inspection.
    This is where you will need to apply much thinking to how to make the validation rules applied in retrospect to the incoming data.
    You drive the code (logic). More through help is a click away here http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/193855/An-indespensible-SSIS-transformation-component-Scr which only covers how to make the row-by-row processing possible.
    If you expected SSIS to have this functionality provided for free - unfortunately this is not happening.
    One of many reason is, what you want to do is extremely laborious.

  • How to set all file permissions to default?

    So a few background notes are in order. I came across an article on the NSA's website titled Hardening Tips for Mac OS x 10.6 "Snow Leopard", needless to say I have come to believe I have made this irreversible. The NSA suggested to do some fancy command line coding to disable this, modify that, and change permissions to this. After hours spent on "hardening" my system, I have little hair left to pull in frustration. Is there any way to restore all file permissions back to default? I have used the Repair Disk Permissions, but that has done very little. To give the scope of what permissions have been skewed, I have observed several things:
    The desktop wallpapers, on all Desktops (as I'm in Lion 10.7.3), start from the same picture every time. I have the wallpapers changing, randomly, every 5 minutes.
    Safari doesn't keep the home page. No matter how often I try to change the homepage, I restart Safari, and I'm right back to the original homepage.
    Firefox doesn't retain the fact that I want it to be the default Web Browser. In fact, it keeps "forgetting" that I've used it before, and thus brings me to their awesome start page whenever someone first uses Firefox.
    Spotlight gets "stuck" i.e. almost every time I start my machine, it indexes. Even after I let it finish indexing, the next time I start my computer, it starts again.
    I have to input the administrator password after almost every activity, such as copying to the desktop, moving an application not bought from the Mac App Store into the /Applications folder, deleting a file from anywhere inside my home folder, etc.
    Some preference panes that need access to certain folders, such as Hazel's access to my desktop, are denied that access without ever prompting me for a password (though even if it did, it would get rather annoying after every startup)
    My firewall (in System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall) doesn't "remember" that I do indeed want Dropbox to accept incoming connections. I have to input my admin password at each startup after clicking "allow"
    Opera pretty much doesn't function. Its bookmarking capability, home page, saved tabs, any thing that requires the saving of any type of preference to the computer results in a dialog pop up informing me that Opera failed to save what it needed, and prompts me to "Try again" or "Cancel" (hint: the "Try again" button doesn't work)
    There are more symptoms of an ever growing problem.
    I have backed up my machine from Time Machine, but I think it retains these file permissions, unless I'm wrong.
    Summary:
    How can I fully restore EVERY file permission back to default? Repair Disk Permissions doesn't work
    Is there a way that I can re-install Mac OS X, restore through Time Machine, and achieve the default file permissions, essentially losing all file permissions?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    If you get an error message about permissions, enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Live Data / Problem with file permissions

    Just trying out an old version of Dreamweaver MX 2004. I am
    using my webhosting service for remote server/testing server
    duties. It is running PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 3.23.58. I was able to
    set up the database connection and test-retrieve a recordset with
    no problems. In following the tutorial I found that Livedata
    wouldn't work, it just giving me a warning about file permissions
    being wrong. It turns out that when Dreamweaver creates a temporary
    file of the work-in-progress to upload to the remote server the
    file is created on the server with owner=rw, group=rw, world=r
    which explains why it won't run - group has to be set to group=r.
    The file is created on the fly and then immediately deleted by
    Dreamweaver so it is impossible to manually set the permission on
    the server and probably fairly pointless too.
    I tried just saving the file and previewing in the browser
    which again causes it to be uploaded to the remote server. The
    first time this resulted in the browser offering a file download
    box instead of running the page. The reason is - again - that
    Dreamweaver is setting the uploaded file permissions to include
    group=rw. If I manually set the permission for group to group=r it
    runs fine.
    It turns out that Dreamweaver is always setting the file
    permissions on file uploads (checked php and html) to the
    remote/testing server to include group=rw. Once I set it manually
    on the remote/testing server to group=r for a php file everything
    is fine and subsequent uploads of the same file do not change it
    again.
    I checked with the webhosting company and their second-line
    have reported back to me that the default file permission they set
    on uploaded files includes group=r so it must be DW that is causing
    the problem by setting group=rw the first time. I confirmed this by
    using WS-FTP to upload the same file (renamed) to the same target
    directory and the permissions set were owner=rw, group=r, world=r.
    So
    Can anyone please tell me how to change the permissions DW
    sets on files written to a remote server because I have spent
    countless hours on it without success. From looking at other posts
    in this forum it could be that other users are hitting the same
    kind of problem with DW8

    Stop using Live Data with a hosting account. Set up PHP and
    MySQL locally on
    your machine. That is how it's supposed to work. You
    shouldn't test files on
    the fly on a host as you write them. Change your test account
    in DW to use
    the local server. Upload your files to your remote server
    after they are
    fully tested.

  • Problem with file permissions

    Hello all,
    I am making a simple HttpServlet, which takes input
    from html page and saves in to a file, but I'm having a
    bit of a problem with file permissions.
    I'm getting the following exception
    java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission ./data/result read)
         java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:264)
         java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:427)
         java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:532)
         java.lang.SecurityManager.checkRead(SecurityManager.java:871)

         javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
         sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor52.invoke(Unknown Source)
         sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)

         java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
         javax.security.auth.Subject.doAsPrivileged(Subject.java:517)
         org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityUtil.execute(SecurityUtil.java:275)
         org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityUtil.doAsPrivilege(SecurityUtil.java:161)The exception seems to occur when I'm trying to check whether the file already
    exists or not.
    The data directory has all permissions (read, write and execute) set for all users,
    and I have made an empty file called result inside the data directory for testing.
    This file has read and write permissions enabled for all users.
    Here's my code
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.Enumeration;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class SyksyHTTPServlet extends HttpServlet
         public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
              int totalCount = 0;
              List list;
              String song = request.getParameter("song");
              PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
              File file = new File("./data/result");
              if(file.exists())  // this is line 31, which seems to cause the exception
                   list = readFile(file);
              else
                   file.createNewFile();
                   list = new ArrayList();
              list.add(song);
              writeFile(file, list);
              for(int i = 0 ; i < list.size() ; i++)
                   out.println(list.get(i));
         public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
              doPost(request, response);
         private List readFile(File file)
              List list = null;
              try
                   FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                   ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
                   list = (ArrayList)ois.readObject();
                   ois.close();
              catch(Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return list;
         private void writeFile(File file, List list)
              try
                   FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
                   ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
                   oos.writeObject(list);
                   oos.flush();
                   oos.close();
              catch(Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
    }I'm using Tomcat 5.5 on Ubuntu Linux, if that has anything to do with this.
    I'll appreciate all help.

    Hello again.
    I'm still having problems with this. I made
    a simple servlet that reads from and writes
    to text file. The reading part work fine on my
    computer, but the writing doesn't, not even
    an exception is thrown if the file exists that
    I'm trying to write to. If I try to create a new
    file I'll get an exception about file permissions.
    I also asked a friend of mine to try this same
    servlet on his windows computer and it works
    as it should.
    Here's the code
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class ReadServlet extends HttpServlet
         public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
              String s = "";
              PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
              String docroot = getServletContext().getRealPath( "/" );
              out.println("docroot: "+docroot);
              File file = new File(docroot+"test.txt");
              if(file.exists())
                   s = readFile(file);
                   out.println(s);
              else
                   out.println("file not found");
                   //file.createNewFile();                    // causes exception
                   //out.println("new file created.");
              writeFile(file, "written by servlet");
              out.println("Now look in the file "+file.getPath());
              out.println("and see if it contains text 'written by servlet'");
         public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
              doPost(request, response);
         private String readFile(File file)
              FileInputStream fis = null;
              BufferedInputStream bis = null;
              DataInputStream dis = null;
              String s = "";
              try
                   fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                   bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
                   dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
                   s = dis.readLine();
                   fis.close();
                   bis.close();
                   dis.close();
              catch(Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return s;
         private void writeFile(File file, String s)
              FileOutputStream fos = null;
              BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
              DataOutputStream dos = null;
              try
                   fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
                   bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
                   dos = new DataOutputStream(bos);
                   dos.writeChars(s);
                   fos.flush();
                   bos.flush();
                   dos.flush();
                   fos.close();
                   bos.close();
                   dos.close();
              catch(Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
    }And if someone wants to test this servlet I can
    give a war package.
    Any advices?

  • "Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

    We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
    after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
    Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
    If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
    Window 7 64-bit
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
    Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
    error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
    Hope it's helpful.

    What's the problem?
    Any help in finding a solution is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Installed AcrobatXI PRO 11.0.09  on seven computers and laptops. Two of them gives an error when you try to save a document in WORD, EXCEL, Power Point, or when exporting to... error: Save failed to process this document. No File was created.
    But all good saves in the format of TXT and jpg.
    I have uninstalled and restored and re-installed and updated and registry cleaned and removed using the special utility Cleaner Tool for Acrobat, but nothing helps.
    On one notebook with Windows 8.1 and Microsoft office 2013, on another laptop with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010, the same problem, although there are computers with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010 and everything works.
    Tell me where to find the problem and how to solve it.
    Thank you.
