Reports on the folder permissions

How can I use powerCLI report on which groups active directory has permissions on a folder in the Server vCenter?

The following script kind of handset 2 previous scripts.

It allows to print permissions that applies models and virtual computers.

But that can easily be extended to do the same for data centers and records. Also call the function get-permissions for the files and data centers.

function get-permissions($vm){
    $vmImpl = Get-VM -Name $vm -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue    if($vmImpl){
        Get-VIPermission -Entity $vmImpl | %{
            Write-Host "`t" $_.Role $_.Principal $_.Entity $_.Propagate
        }
    }
    else{
        $templImpl = Get-Template -Name $vm -ErrorAction SilentlyCOntinue        if($templImpl){
            Get-VIPermission -Entity $templImpl | %{
                Write-Host "`t" $_.Role $_.Principal $_.Entity $_.Propagate
            }
        }
    }
}

function get-children-reverse($entity,$path)
{
    if($entity.Name -ne "vm"){
        $path = $path + "\" + $entity.Name
    }
    foreach($child in $entity.ChildEntity){
        $childfld = Get-View -Id $child        switch($childfld.gettype().name){
            "Folder" {
                Write-Host ($path + "\" + $childfld.Name)
                get-children-reverse $childfld $path            }
            "VirtualMachine"{
                $vm = $path + "\" + $childfld.Name
                Write-Host $vm                get-permissions $childfld.Name
            }
            "Datacenter"{
                Write-Host ($path + "\" + $childfld.Name)
                get-children-reverse $childfld $path            }
            "ClusterComputeResource" {
                Write-Host ($path + "\" + $childfld.Name)
                foreach($esxMoRef in $childfld.Host){
                    $esx = Get-View -Id $esxMorEF                    $h = $esx.Name+ "\" + $path + "\" + $childfld.Name
                    Write-Host $h                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Get-Datacenter | %{
    $dc = Get-View -Id ($_).id
    $folder = Get-View -Id $dc.VmFolder
    get-children-reverse $folder $dc.Name
}

The script will export all output to the screen.

If you need it in a different format, let me know.

Problems with folder permissions after replacing the hard drive

Hello

Recently, I replaced the hard drive on my mac. Already before the replacement, I got the files that I had locked. Now I'm unable to open the file. I get the error "the folder 'nom_de_dossier' can not be opened because you don't have permission to see its content". I looked at the permissions for the folder and everything he says is fetch. I ran a command in the Terminal and for one of the records in question, that's what I see-

drwxr-x - 13 501 501 442 5 July 2013 MG

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Running OS X El Capitan

10.11.4 version

Try this first:

Start the mac all holding the SHIFT key, it is slow, connection, and then select Restart from the Apple menu.

When this does not help:

Reset password utility in the recovery Partition:
1. Restart your computer from the recovery partition.
2. Open disk utility and run a repair permissions on your boot volume (in ElCapitan click the first aid tab). Once this completed, close disk utility. We do this for good measure.
3. Open a Terminal from the Utilities menu. Type in resetpassword and select your user (NOT administrator system/root) account in the menu drop-down.
4. Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window ACL section and Reset the folder permissions.
5. Exit the utility password and return to the main recovery menu.
6. On your keyboard, press ⌘ + Q and restart your computer. It is very important that you don't hold down the power button to exit the recovery session, or the ACL Reset to occur.

Adobe PCD folder permissions change after the launch of CS5 programs

There is a seemingly important issue for Creative Suite
5 licenses: C:\program files (x 86) \common files\adobe\adobe pcd
Unfortunately the default permissions after installation (standard installation or install Adobe enterprise deployment tools) are:
Everyone: read
Administrators: Full control
This is a problem for the use of the software, if your users are not local administrators.
If you change the permissions of the folder to grant access to other users, launch InDesign or Photoshop, Adobe PCD permissions back to their original settings. I checked my permissions to save well by closing and reopening the folder permissions. It is only after a CS5 program was launched to return permissions.
How can I get residence permits? So far, I make people admins local, which is not good, if they find out. They will install all kinds of crapware and legitimate crappy software and break their computers more far.
Thank you

Found a solution to get Acrobat 9 Professional to work without giving users admin rights.

1.), connect as admininstrator and give the control total of users on the following folders and all content (replace permissions on all child objects):
- File Adobe in Program files.
- Adobe common files folder.
- Files common Macrovision.
Run 2) program as admin first to get rid of some of the regisration and user login guests to try. It should work now.

Multiuser folder permissions

I have OS X El Capitan 10.11.5. I have installed the two users. I put the folder permissions on a specific folder that the second user can also read/write. If I create a new file, this permission is not set in this file.

How can I set permissions multiuser on new files created automatically?

Back up all data before proceeding.

These must be run as administrator.

Please select the text on the bottom line by dragging on it. Do not include white space at the end of the line. The text should be highlighted.
```
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod -R +a "staff allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
```
Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

Launch the Terminal application in one of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

Paste in the Terminal window by pressing Command + V, then press the space bar.

Now switch to the Finder and select the folder in question. Drag into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.

Click in the Terminal window to activate it, and then press return.

You will be asked your password of connection that are not displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. You don't need to display the warning. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator.

Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) to appear. You can then quit Terminal.

Cannot delete the folder (access denied / authorization to administrator)

Recently, after a good 6 months to give a fair chance to Windows 8, I decided to reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop. Installation went very well, no problems (it's the original operating system on this machine). When I installed 7 I didn't format my drive, and so all my files/directories have been moved to the Windows.old folder. I had already backed up everything so I tried to delete the record and was invited to give permission to the administrator. I clicked through and received the error message: you need permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file.

I know that this problem is everywhere, but before dismiss you this as a pointless post, that's what I tried (unsuccessfully) solve this problem:

> Delete manually CMD with elevated privileges (no results, "access denied" after each item has been deleted in vain)

> Turn off UAC (no change)

> Delete using Shift + Delete to bypass the Recycle Bin

> Add a DWORD value in the registry (UseSystemForSystemFolders)

> Start in safe mode with CMD prompt, could not remove with CMD or via Explorer

> Activate the hidden administrator account and remove using the Explorer/CMD

> Change the folder permissions, raise my account permissions and creating a new user name or the group with my account with full access

I spent the best part of 24 hours trying to solve this problem. I would like to avoid reinstalling Windows because I had already transferred 200 GB of data on my computer before I realized it was a problem. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. I totally forgot to include Unlocker on my list of failed attempts. It has disabled a lock that was in place, but has not changed and he could not remove the file. I tried to move the folder into a zip file too, so I could delete just that but while I am able to move the folder on my drive hard I can't move it to a zip archive.

=========================================
Sorry, I thought that Unlocker is worth the try.

After all, you tried, I doubt that the following articles
would be useful but they both recommend the disk cleanup.

Win 7 folder permissions

I searched but could not find an answer, so any help is appreciated.

I was running Win7 Pro x 86 on a laptop. I bought a new laptop with Win7 Pro x 64 installed. I created a user, the configuration, as well as on my laptop prior.

After installing all updates from MS, I installed a software I was running on my other pc. With Win7 x 64, even if the folder permissions seem identical to the other my laptop, I can't write to a folder. I get the "you must provide administrator permissions to copy to this folder. I'm sure that I can fix it, but before I do, I want to understand what is happening.

My account is a member of the Administrators group. The record is held by the SYSTEM, as well as on the other machine. SYSTEM and administrators have full control. So, why my account administrator controls total? Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Windows 7 has intentionally protects the program files and Program Files (x 86) folders. It is a function of UAC. Be an administrator does not override this protection. It is accessible by turning off UAC (not advisable to leave power off).

In earlier versions of Windows, it was common for programs to save data in the program folder. It was a bad practice for several reasons. In Windows 7 the ProgramData folder is intended to be used for this purpose. It is clear that the program that you are talking about is not designed for compatibility with Windows 7. 7have Windows Vista and Windows 7, a built-in mechanism that sometimes allows such software work. It can move the data file to a location that is virtualized and treat it as if it was located in the program folder. It is operated during the installation of the program (and would not come into play by the copy of a program).
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927387?wa=wsignin1.0
For more information if you are interested.

I advise you to not take into account the dangerous opinion of akil P change of property rights and access to the Program Files (x 86) folder. This would undermine the security and might cause problems in the long term. At most you could temporarily turn off UAC, do your copy and then turn it back on, but it is doubtful that the software will work correctly.

Page HOME of FOLDER permissions "apply to the included items.

Hello.

It is more a question of information - I was having a weird thing happen on my Mac - and I called Apple. My photo library save size was different from that on my hard drive. After another manual run of TM, it changed.

Without hesitation, the first thing that Apple had owed me 'Get Info' on my home folder and change the permissions to 'Apply to joint of the elements' - it took a while.

Subsequently, Time Machine indicated he had 139 + GB to save. My entire hard drive. A few hours later it's over. I have another drive in TM I don't NOT a back up before I noticed things that went wrong and what precedes has changed by Apple.

Since then, and maybe this happened later, not sure about the timeline, whenever I open, edit a document Finder doesn't notice these different times. After reboot, Photos will tell in the Finder that the library has been opened and modifed at boot time.

My problem/question is that gave me very bad advice to the "apply to joint points" at the level of my home folder (each data bit which is mine): I was not affected by the permission issues that were obvious to me. Everyone and everywhere I turn, I see and read that make is a very BAD idea.

Now, engineering is looking at my things - but wonder if I have not passed the point of no return. I have my data on a disk with the flag is set to "ignore permissions" and uses iCloud photo library so if it is necessary to wipe and reload I don't have those things that I can count on.

All wisdom is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In the status area, you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is faulty or has failed.

If the drive is "verified", then select your OS X volume in the list on the left (subentries under the entry for the road), click the first aid tab, then click the repair disk button. If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no error is not reported, then click repair permissions.

Change the folder of default reports from outside the sequence editor

Hello

I want to set the path to the folder of the regular reports of TS (xml) outside the sequence editor, i.e. in a txt file. I would like to load this value in the sequence or the performance of model sequential (to read this file). Play with what I achieved only copy reports to different my folder both outside. No one knows how to correctly do this operation?

See you soon,.

I have accomplished this setting the path of the report dynamically, using the ReportOptions reminder in my process model.

I had set the following report options:

Parameters.ReportOptions.DirectoryType = "SpecificDirectory".

Parameters.ReportOptions.Directory = 'C:\\Program Files\\Functional Test\\Reports\\' + Parameters.UUT_PN

Parameters.ReportOptions.BaseName = 'report '.

Parameters.ReportOptions.UseFormatForExtension = TRUE

Parameters.ReportOptions.Extension = «»

Parameters.ReportOptions.ReportFilePath = «»

Parameters.ReportOptions.NewFileNameForEachUUT = TRUE

Parameters.ReportOptions.AddTimeAndDateToFileName = TRUE

Parameters.ReportOptions.GeneratePath = TRUE
arameters. ReportOptions.Format = "html".

The second entry above, I set the directory based on the number of game USE which is analyzed by the operator. So in your case, you will need to set the "Parameters.ReportOptions.Directory" item based on a path read you a text file. According to the structure of your text, file, get the path of the report (from file) could be done in a few differnet ways...

change the attributes or the permissions of the folder

I searched for this and the answers do not work. I have an app where I copy a folder to a CD on the C drive. When the application is finished I want to delete the folder. I can't do with my code. I can go to the folder in Explorer and uncheck the read-only option manually and it deletes fine. I tried SetPermissions, Attrib in Exec System, none doesn't seem to work. 2011 on an XP system.

An observation of note: when I get permissions it reads 511. When I have a--manually select read-only it still reads 511, but I can delete the file in the code. I simply don't deselect read only in programatticaly and I need to. Thank you.

I got a letter from a misplaced my system Exec command. Looks like it works now.

Adding the folder using XP Pro permissions

I work as an entrepreneur at a doctor's office and add permissions to 2 folders. When I go to the Security tab and try to add or the same view, I get a window asking for user name and pw. The user name field has a menu drop-down and the only name in there is xxxxxx/administrator. I choose it and then put in the admin pw but won't give me access. The admin pw works to connect to the computer so why it doesn't work to add folder permissions? Thanks in advance.

This is the first I've heard of behavior like this. When in doubt, I usually fall back to the command line approach. If nothing else, the error messages seem more understandable. Bring up a command window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and use the CACLS command to modify the permissions. You can also check your user name [admin] is in the "Administrators" group with the command: (net localgroup administrators).

After using deny permissions of the folder security, is no longer able to access the folder from anywhere

Hi, this is how things went wrong: I tried to restrict access to a folder on our server by using the permissions denied, file security. When I try to locate the file for other machines connected to the server I can not see it now, which is kind of what I was aiming for. However, I am not sure what I have done because even though I can see the folder by using the server machine, I can't actually access.

When you try to open the file I get now: \Accounts documents refers to a location that is unavailable, it could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Make sure that the disc is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the internet or to your network and try agaiun. If it can't be located, the information may have been moved to a different location.

When I right click and try and go to the tab Essensials in this folder, I get: the required guarantee inforamtion is either unavailable or cannot be displayed. Help please!
