Script to compare permissions on directories
Posted:

Hello,
I've been trying to find a script that can show me how to traverse the directory tree comparing the permissions on a subdirectory to the parent directory and if different, write the directory name to a file.
I'm new to powershell and haven't gotten much beyond comparing two text files.
I'd appreciate any help and will make it a sincere learning experience.
Thanks,
Robert

This script will do what your asking I think. By default it dumps folders that have different ACLs to C:\AclCompareDump.txt
[System.IO.FileInfo] $outputFile = "C:\AclCompareDump.txt"
[System.IO.DirectoryInfo] $searchDir = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter folder path to search"
if ($outputFile.Exists)
{
$outputFile.Delete()
}
if ($searchDir.Exists)
{
$refacl = Get-Acl $searchDir.Fullname
dir -Path $searchDir.Fullname -Recurse -Force | ? {$_.PsIsContainer} | % {
$currentFolder = $_
Write-Progress -Activity "Searching for folder ACLs..." -CurrentOperation $currentFolder.FullName -Status "Current Folder:"
$currentAcl = Get-Acl $currentFolder.FullName
$comparison = compare-object $refacl $currentAcl -Property Access
if ($comparison -ne $null)
{
$currentFolder.Fullname | Out-File $outputFile.FullName -Append
[int] $hits += 1
}
$comparison = $null
}
if ($hits)
{
& notepad.exe $outputFile.Fullname
}
else
{
Write-Warning "All sub folder ACLs matched the parent folder ACL."
}
}
else
{
Write-Error ($searchDir.Fullname + " does not exist.")
}
