XCACLS causes error in permissions

Windows XP Security >> XCACLS causes error in permissions After using xcacls from the resource kit to change permissions on a
folder and its contents, explorer reports an error on the permissions.
This happens in XP as well as Win2000.

[Xcacls should be the same as cacls, with the exception of an added
"/Y" switch to make it easier to use from a batch file].

What I did was grant access to one account, and revoke (deny) it for
another:

xcacls <path> /T /E /G User1:F /Y
xcacls <path> /T /E /D User2 /Y

After executing these commands through wshShell.Run in a script,
opening the security tab in the folder's properties (or any item
within it) causes this message to appear:

The permissions on <name> are incorrectly ordered, which may cause
some entries to be ineffective. Press OK to continue and sort the
permissions correctly, or Cancel to reset the permissions.

Clicking OK or Cancel >>seems<< to do what the message says, but the
changes aren't saved when the properties dialog is closed: the same
error reappears the next time the security tab is opened.

Minor correction: xcacls is part of the support tools, not the resouce
kit. It can also be downloaded:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/xcacls-o.asp

Windows XP Security >> XCACLS causes error in permissions XCACLS.EXE is poked for Windows.

You need XCACLS.VBS:

Phone Microsoft Product Support Services, mention this article by number and
they will send you the tool free of charge.

Hi

An alternative that works better:

SetACL.exe (freeware) at
http://setacl.sourceforge.net/

SetACL can set permissions on:

Local or remote directories
Local or remote files
Local or remote printers
Local or remote registry keys
Local or remote Win32 services
Local or remote network shares
