Remove and re-add inheritance on file structure.


server 2008r2. somehow, on time, have instances inheritance has been removed, rights screwed with, , have been blocked having rights on files supposed to. suspect sloppy work junior administrators not following proper procedures, beside point. have corrected rights issues via cacls , takeown necessary, want verify , re-set inheritance because broken somewhere in directory structure. unable correct via gui "apply on , subfolders", access denied, though can verify on file complaining not have access (the administrators local group) has full control, owner of file, , can open file.

looking scripted way first remove inheritance on every file in given directory , subdirectories, re-apply inheritance , set inherited acl's on files.

first, possible, second if so, how?

hi,

i think possible using command tool such icacls.

for example, icacls c:\root\sub /reset /t can reset permission of c:\folder\sub folder inherit permission settings on c:\root. then we can modify permission on c:\root\sub spcifically incorrect permissions removed.
