Enumerate shares and permissions

I need to document shares and there permissions (groups and users) that have
access on my servers. I was seeing if we can use WMI to collect this
information on several servers?

1) Ideal Migration can export all the shared folders and permissions into
..csv files). It is downloadable at http://www.pointdev.com. Click Databases
> Shares, export into a Microsoft
Access database. This will list all shared folders and permissions in the
domain.

2) If you have Hyena (www.systemtools.com), this can be done in a couple of
different ways:

- In Hyena, right click on the Shares object for a server and select View
All Access Rights. This will display of all shares and their rights. Sort
on the access right column. This can be exported into Access or
Control-A/Control-C to export into Excel.

- For many computers at once, use the File->Export option to export the
shares and their permissions to a text file. Then use the Exporter utility
which is a free separate component to Hyena.

If you have any questions, Hyena offers free support

Todd gave you some commercial solutions.

A simple batch file (run as a Startup) script could
do something like the following:

(First create a Computer$ share on your "CentralServer".)

net share >\\CentralServer\Computers$\%computername%_shares. txt


A Perl or other script could then run through the list and format
it however you wish, e.g., for Excel etc.

Thank you for the idea,
I do not know how to get the needed information using Perl, I looked into
cscript and jscript with no luck. Would you have an example?

It can be done with "any" available programming language
but Perl is ideally suited for such parsing and text conversion
work -- if you know someone who can help.

I don't have time to do it this week since I am teaching but I
might be able to write a PARTIAL example next week if you
remind me (and think you will benefit from a quick incomplete
example.)
