#186589 - 2008-04-01 08:08 AM Script or Utility to Move Users
Gargoyle Gargoyle MM club member Registered: 2004-03-09 Posts: 1597 Loc: Valley of the Sun (Arizona, US...	Okay, now that I have your attention... We are collapsing one of our domains into another. The problem is moving the file shares from one domain to other retaining the permissions but using the new domain credentials. Example - In Domain A user JBlow has group membership of Reviewer and Domain Users JBlow has Read\Execute permissions to DomainA\ServerA\ShareA\DirectoryA. User JBlow is Recreated on Domain B with group membership of Reviewer and Domain Users. New file share is DomainB\ServerA\ShareA\DirectoryA How to Modify the permissions that JBlow has on DirectoryA to now be Domain B\JBlow instead of DomainA\JBlow. If there is a Utility that is already capable of this, we are open to the idea of using it. If it is easy enought to script we are even more open to that idea (scripting is free). Thanks for any input. _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

I know Howard Bullock has done this many times I'm sure as they bought up a lot of smaller companies and they had to do it I think. I'll look and see if I have any details left with my files at work later on.

We also found a 3rd party that might help with the job (looking at pro's and con's of each utility) http://sourceforge.net/projects/setacl/ _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 311 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	An other good tool for ntfs permission is fileacl at fileacl web site take care with the latest version 3.0.1.5. I had problem with UNC share name. you should prefer the 3.0.1.1 version. with this tool, you can export current permission in a batch file : Code: fileacl <dir> /sub /batchreal /files > "output batch file name" then you can modify this batch file to replace old server, domain and groupname with the new ones. finally, apply the modified batch file on the new server.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Well this was like 5 years ago for me. At the time we tried a few tools and each had issues of one type or another. If I had to do it again I'd probably retest some tools just to confirm if anything new came out or if how some of them works has changed. Too bad Howard doesn't come on line and read this - I'm sure he has to have fairly recent experience with it.. a lot newer than my 5 year old experience.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	May be the best, not sure as I haven't dealt with those type of tools now for years. Here are some links for it though that may be of value. Download SubInACL from Microsoft SubInACL documentation Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions Using the Command Line to Edit Multiple Subdirectory Permissions

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	We used SubInACL on NT4 domain controllers that we demoted to member servers and joined to AD. We also used it to clean up ACEs on many member servers. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Many thanks for the suggestions, now have lots of testing and reading to do. $\:\)$ _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

We are still in the design phase of the plan, and it keeps changing as to what the exact enviroment will look like at the end. Ever so slowly we are getting there. _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
