Posted August 6, 200816 yr Hello, Can anyone please recommend any software tool(s) that could help an administrator (Windows 2003, Windows XP, and eventually Windows Vista) to quickly find answers on questions like these: (1) For a given computer, show all the resources (files, folders, registry entries, etc.) that have any permissions/restrictions specified for a given account (local or domain-level account, user or group)? (2) For a given resource and account, show all the effective permissions AND WHY EXACTLY EACH OF THESE PERMISSIONS IS WHAT IT IS? Ideally, the tool should be aware of implied permissions too (like a resource owner's implicit permission to change permissions for the resource). BTW, it would also be nice if the tool provided some additional help in managing group memberships. For example, it would be nice if it allowed to document memberships (i.e. for each group member, document why exactly does this member has to be in this group). Thank you, Yarik.
