I'd like to change NTFS file system permissions using Powershell, both
at the command line and from a Powershell script.
I come from the Unix world, where it's pretty straightforward: To
change ownership, you use the 'chown' command, and to change
permissions, you use either 'chmod' or 'setfacl'.
How would I do the same thing in Powershell? I'd like to be able to
do this locally (on a Windows Server 2003 box), and hopefully remotely
(from a Windows XP client, say).
Googling around, I see many different discussions threads, with
conflicting information about how you might do it (try this script I
wrote, download this utility, etc.), or whether it's even possible to
change the owner to a non-Administrative user account using anything
other than the security tab in the GUI. I'm surprised such a basic
operation is such a fertile topic for discussion and debate.
Powershell is pretty cool, and I'm hoping I can use it to accomplish
my task.
Thanks in advance!
