Trying to add permissions to a couple directorys on anyone's w2k workstations where the NTFS directory exists.

Code:

         $DOMAIN = TPE	



         IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\buffers")

		SHELL RUN 'XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\buffers" /C /T /G "$DOMAIN\Everyone":F

	ENDIF



	IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML")

		SHELL RUN 'XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML" /C /T /G "$DOMAIN\Everyone":F

	ENDIF



	IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML\Saved")

		SHELL RUN 'XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML\Saved" /C /T /G "$DOMAIN\Everyone":F

	ENDIF


got this from an example from a old post but this script isnt working. no errors are being displayed.

See the RUN/SHELL FAQ in the FAQ Forum and read the KiXtart Manual under RUN and SHELL You cannot combine them the way you have them.

Look at FileAcl utility (last version is 2.8.0.3).

FILEACL v 2.8.0

there are many options (like inherit permissions for Windows 2000 and upper) and it seems to be so good that you can find it on the Microsoft web site.

So after reading the SHELL\RUN in the FAQ. i know i need to run one or the other. but when reading the KIX manual i think i need to run just the Shell command.

Adding Folder Permissions

States his issue was resolved with the run command.
Using the RUN on my script doesn't resolve the issue.
any pointers?

There are some missing closing quotes on the top script you posted. Try this out...

Code:
$DOMAIN = "TPE"



IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\buffers")

   SHELL '%comspec% /c XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\buffers" /C /T /G "'+$DOMAIN+'\Everyone":F'

ENDIF

IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML")

   SHELL '%comspec% /c XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML" /C /T /G "'+$DOMAIN+'\Everyone":F'

ENDIF

IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML\Saved")

   SHELL '%comspec% /c XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML\Saved" /C /T /G "'+$DOMAIN+'\Everyone":F'

ENDIF


Not sure if you really need the quotes around the DOMAIN\Everyone part or not though. That may be screwing you up as well.

With or without quotes around the DOMAIN\EVERYONE get error message
No mapping between account name and security Ids was done

Does it matter that I am working on a native w2k domain?

Repost what code you have now. As Shane said, your first post is missing the closing quote.

Also, Everyone is a well known group and should not include the domain name.

Did you even test the command from a DOS prompt before trying to script it?

Code:
  $DOMAIN = "TPE"



	IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\buffers")

   		SHELL '%comspec% /c XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\buffers" /C /T /G '+$DOMAIN+'\Everyone:F'

	ENDIF

	IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML")

  		 SHELL '%comspec% /c XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML" /C /T /G '+$DOMAIN+'\Everyone:F'

	ENDIF

	IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML\Saved")

 		 SHELL '%comspec% /c XCACLS "C:\Program Files\The Produce Exchange\TPEAllocator\XML\Saved" /C /T /G '+$DOMAIN+'\Everyone:F'

	ENDIF


If i remove the '+$DOMAIN+ I get unknown command error

I will ask you again, did you even test the command from a DOS prompt before trying to script it? It is not sufficient to just remove the '+$DOMAIN+ as it would still leave the backslash.

OK, I got your PMs...

Thought I should post here cuz then others that read this thread could benefit from a complete answer.

Adding /Y should silence the prompt.
Code:

Break On
Shell 'xcacls "C:\New Folder" /Y /C /T /G Everyone:f'
@error ?
@Serror ?
Shell 'xcacls "C:\New Folder (2)" /Y /C /T /G Everyone:f'
@error ?
@Serror ?
Shell 'xcacls "C:\New Folder (3)" /Y /C /T /G Everyone:f'
@error ?
@Serror ?


Make sure you don't put it the /Y after the /G?
/G Everyone:f is one parm... has to be kept together.

You might want to include %comspec% so that you can send the result to the bit bucket.
Shell '%comspec% /c xcacls "C:\New Folder" /Y /C /T /G Everyone:f 1>nul 2>&1'

Oh, one more thing... your title is wrong Add permissions to directory

It does not ADD, it replaces perms!
