One feature I missed the most from my Windows 2003 is the ability to assign\/remove permission to\/from MULTIPLE folder. For some reason Microsoft decided to take this functionality away from their GUI. I had to add\/remove users from 20+ folders recently, and it&#8217;s not pleasant to do it manually on each folder. I can write the command line to do this using cacls or icacls, but i don&#8217;t always remember the slashes I need. So, I spent about half hour to create a simple windows application to accomplish this. Keep in mind that I only spent 30 minutes writing this app. So there is minimal error checking. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are granting or removing local groups, you should use <strong>builtin\\group_name<\/strong> instead of <strong>server_name\\Group_name. <\/strong>In the future, I will probably extend the functionality so I can select multiple folders using GUI.<\/p>\n<p>To get started, just download the executable and run it.<\/p>\n<p>Screen shot:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/digitallibraryworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/NTFSSetter1.gif\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-109\" title=\"NTFSSetter\" src=\"http:\/\/digitallibraryworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/NTFSSetter1-300x172.gif\" alt=\"NTFSSetter - Assign\/delete permission to\/from multiple=\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/NTFSSetter1-300x172.gif 300w, https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/NTFSSetter1.gif 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Executable<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/digitallibraryworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/NTFSSetter.exe\">NTFSSetter<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<div data-counters='1' data-style='square' data-size='regular' data-url='https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/?p=102' data-title='Setting NTFS permission of multiple folders in Windows 2008' class='linksalpha_container linksalpha_app_3'><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='facebook' class='linksalpha_icon_facebook'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='twitter' class='linksalpha_icon_twitter'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='googleplus' class='linksalpha_icon_googleplus'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='mail' class='linksalpha_icon_mail'><\/a><\/div><div data-position='' data-url='https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/?p=102' data-title='Setting NTFS permission of multiple folders in Windows 2008' class='linksalpha_container linksalpha_app_7'><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='facebook' class='linksalpha_icon_facebook'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='twitter' class='linksalpha_icon_twitter'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='googleplus' class='linksalpha_icon_googleplus'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='mail' class='linksalpha_icon_mail'><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assign or remove multiple NTFS permission to or from multiple folders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=102"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107,"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions\/107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heisbudi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
