hi

srry for unclearness what i am asking is i have written script which loops through every drive and in every folder and pull for NTFS security permissionof each folder in computer what i need is i have to capture the folder whose inheritance access permission to the child folder is not available.

to be clear when you right click on any folder there will be properties option at the end.when you click on the option you will get popup window, in that popup window there will be a tab named security, click on that you will find advance tab below, click on that you will get popup window in that window there will be two check boxes at the end. for every folder the frist check box (allow inheritance from parent to child some thing similar)will always enable but for some reason the check box will disable for some folder in need to caputure only that folder whose checkbox are disable.

i think now you got my problem
