List directory security of a group

[Guest]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how I could, given a Global Group in Active Directory, list the file and folder permissions that group has in our domain?

Thanks,
- Steve

Exporter Pro has an option to specify a file with the users and/or groups you want to search for on the Security Access export. I've got some instructions for this that I can send you if you need them. Just send an email to [email protected] and I'll send them to you.

I would like the instructions you reference here. If i send you an email can you forward them to me?

Thanks,

Hi,

I need to do the same, find where on our domain a group has acces to.

Would you be able to send me the configuration to do this with Exporter Pro?

thank you.

Re: List directory security of a group

Here you go:

In Hyena select the server or servers that you want to search, then go to Tools->Exporter Pro->Export Selected Objects.
Click the Settings button, then double-click on Security Access.
Check the box to Export Security Information and enter an Output File Name.

For share permissions, check the box for shares and choose the type of shares you want reported on. For NTFS file and directory permissions check the box for Files and Directories.

Check the box to only export information for users/groups listed in this file. Enter a filename that will contain the users/groups you want to search for. The file doesn't have to exist yet because when you click the Edit button Notepad will open and ask you if you want to create it. In the file you will list, one per line, the users and/or groups you want to search for. Then click OK to close that dialog.

You'll also need a File/Directory template, so double-click on File/Directory. Click the New button at the bottom, give it a Template Name and an Output File Name. If you only want to search directories, check the box for that, then click the Add button beside Shared Directory Paths. Choose the shares you want, how far down you want it to scan, then click OK.

Security Access and File/Directory should be the only options enabled on this screen, if there is anything else enabled, double-click on them and disable them. When done, click Close and click Start Export.

When finished you can open the output file specified on the Security Access tab with Excel and see if that is what you are looking for.

You say: "Check the box to only export information for users/groups listed in this file." but that box is not in the Security tab, right? which tab is it?

Thank you for your time

Yes, this is on the Security tab.

Re: List directory security of a group

I guess I am doing something wrong at some point, because I do not have a checkbox that says to export information for users/groups in that tab, I do not have a place to enter a filename nor a place to click Edit. I have Exporter Pro 2.0 rev: E.

but I am able to follow all the previous steps, so I must be in the right place?

The area who is called: Export Security settings for these objects is filled in properly. It takes most space of the tab, the only thing under that area is a checkbox for: Export Object owner information (if I put a mark in it it doesn't ask me anything else) and then it's my Ok, cancel and help buttons

Any idea where I am going wrong?
Thank you again,

Re: List directory security of a group

Ok, it seems my problem was: I had 2 differents versions of Exporter Pro installed, and from Hyena it was starting the old 1.8 version and when I was going manually (thru my program shortcut) it was opening the version 2.

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled Hyena and Exporter Pro that I had just downloaded.

Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated!
