I am trying to find the equivalent to the below in powershell. I see that there is a cmdlet called Get-ACL but I dont see a modifying cmdlet.

  1. for /f %%a in (servers.txt) do (
  2. icacls \\%%a\folder /remove:g Everyone
  3. icacls \\%%a\folder\logs /remove:g Everyone
  4. icacls \\%%a\folder\logs /remove:g user
  5. icacls \\%%a\folder\ /grant "Security Group":R
  6. )
  7.

When you need companion CmdLets use help to find them.

help get-acl -online

The help will list the paired commands and will give you examples.

Ok what I am truly asking is this the right route for changing permissions on a shared folder?

On a folder or on a share? You cannot use either to alter a share. Both only change the underlying folder.
ICACLS works correctly in PowerShell. No need to change it.
