[kseeker]

Hello All,

We have requirement to modify Advanced Security Settings (Audit Settings for folders) on windows 2008. I am looking for a command which does this job.

I know, using group policies I can do this in fact I had done this using group policies. However, I need to do this on number of servers which are not in domain. There are around 15 folders on which I need to enable Auditing manual editing folder advanced permissions is a cumbersome job. Hence, I am looking for a command line options.

I need to know how command can be utilised to enable Audit option on a folder. Please share a command which can do this once I get the command, I will create a batch file for other necessary folders.

Manually through GUI, I am setting following.. snaps are uploaded

Thanks

This should be what you need:

 

$AccLst = new-object System.Security.AccessControl.DirectorySecurity

$AccLst = Get-Acl "C:\MyFolder"

$AudRul = New-Object Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAudRul("everyone","Modify","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "success")

$AccLst.AddAudRul($AudRul)

$AccLst | Set-Acl "C:\MyFolder"

Thanks :)

 

I am bit weak in scripting, please bear with me. Is that a powershell script ?

Yes it is.

 

With that script you set parameters for specific folder. You can use also parameters, just google a bit.
