We have a Win2k server that has 75+ shares based on the hospital
department that uses it. The security on the folders is configured so that
users can only access there own department's folder. And, depending on the
user, they can only do certain things within each folder. The director of
the department has full rights and each user down the line has less and less
rights all the way down to the lowest person in the department who has
almost no rights. Yes, it's complicated but that's the way they want it.

            One of our IS guys decided to add a superuser to the shares and
somehow screwed up all the security settings on the folders. All the
settings are wrong now and we can't figure out what he did to screw it up so
bad.

            It would take far too long to restore all the files. I have been
playing with the restore using the command line to try and do a directory
only restore.

            I have restored the directory tree to another location to see if
it is doing what I want it to do and it looks like it might work. The
restored folders have all the right security settings.

            I'm using the "restore d:\wrkgrp\*.* -dirsonly d:\temp\" command
on the local server to bring back the directory structure.

            Is this a good approach to repair this mess?

I'm running TSM 5.1.5 on the server.
