Mass Changing Users Home Folders Permission

edited February 2009 in Help / Advice Forum
One of the guys I work with copied all the users(700ish) home folders to a new server over the weekend. He did not use robocopy. It reassigned all the users home folders permissions to allow authenticated users full control, so everyone had access to everyone elses home folder. We then took that permission off and realized noone could access their home folder.

Now we have to individually reassign permissions for every persons home folder. Anyone know of a faster way to do this?

Anyone use icacls to do this? All of the users home folders are named as their username.


HALP!

    Here you go:

    calcs X:\Users\%USERNAME% /E /T /C /G %USERNAME%:C

    Loop this with %USERNAME% going down a list of users. That'll give them Change on their subfolder and everything under it.
