Scruot to check user rights on folders/subfolders

Hi,

I'm looking for a powershell script to check if theres a specified user
authorized on all subfolders and files in a directory...

I tried get-acl but I'm not a scripting guy...

Any help would be appreciated.

The command cacls.exe "d:\Some Folder" /t | find /i "stefan" is a basic
method to give you this type of information. You must run it from a Command
Prompt. If you want something a little fancier then AccessEnum.exe might be
for you: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb897332.aspx.

that will only show you on which folders a particular user has ACLs. Some
might be deny ACLs. Also, there might be folders he has no access to
(re-read the OP's question, he's looking for someone having access to all
folders), and he might have access through membership in a security group.

IMHO, without a bit more info from the OP, this could potentially be quite
complex.
