this script works only if I can reach the share:
=====================================
IF EXIST("\\server1\share1\" + "%USERNAME%") = 1
USE Z: /D
USE Z: "\\server1\share1\" + "%USERNAME%"
Shell '%comspec% /c C:\TEMP\TOOLS\XCACLS.EXE Z: /Y /T /R "domain\Domain admins"'
========================================

/edit:

I've tried something like this:
===================
Shell '%comspec% /c C:\TEMP\TOOLS\XCACLS.EXE ""\\server\share1\" + "%USERNAME%"" /Y /T /R "domain\Domain admins"'
===================
It doesn't work.
Tnx.

you have just mentioned something we have been discussing/researching quite intensively here on the board.

in short yes, you can do it with either RMTSHARE.EXE (from the reskit, see reskit documentation for details) or you could start scripting with use of WMI. This would mean however, quite heavy scripting and some prerequisites on the servers that contain the shares.

do a search on the board (scripts forum) on wmi or share permissions...

good luck !

Ciao,
Maarten

Just come to reliaze how stupid I've been

This is what I shoud do:

================================
IF EXIST("\\server1\share1\" + "%USERNAME%") = 1
USE Z: /D
USE Z: "\\server1\share1"
Shell '%comspec% /c C:\TEMP\TOOLS\XCACLS.EXE "Z:\%username%" /Y /T /R "domain\Domain admins"'
=====================================

This works!

I haven't been able to look that other topic...been busy on my work. Gonna look for it now.

Cheers

/Edit:
Mvdw: the topic that you mention....wow!!!! that's certainly waaay out of my league right now lol
I just wrote my first script and today I finished it. Took me some time but I'm getting there

Please see my script here under and any remark is welcome. Uhm...it's a long script so I'm gonna post it on a clean sheet.

this goes on and on, had to do this for 30 departments

================================

I just wish I can make this shorter...ah well...I still have to built in some more "if end else" but this works so I can go further

Any comment I appreciate it.

Cheers.

We're migrating all workstations from NT4 to W2K. In the "old" situation a user has full control over his home dir and sometimes they set the permission close for everybody (domain admins) except for them.
So if I want to map the home dir in the dos prompt "net use * \\server\share\ee00945" then I get something like "network name not found" or something like that.
Therefor I need to set the permission right with xcacls.exe (in the third script) to be able to copy their data to their new home dir.
