How to run this script against a list of servers from a text

Post by tonyf »

HI

How can run the follwoing script against a list servers?

I've tried a foreach loop and the get-content cmdlet.

Also how can I filter two specific shares?

Thanks
PowerShell Code
Double-click the code block to select all.
Function Get-SharePermissions($ShareName){
    $Share = Get-WmiObject win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting -Filter "name='$ShareName'"
    if($Share){
        $obj = @()
        $ACLS = $Share.GetSecurityDescriptor().Descriptor.DACL
        foreach($ACL in $ACLS){
            $User = $ACL.Trustee.Name
            if(!($user)){$user = $ACL.Trustee.SID}
            $Domain = $ACL.Trustee.Domain
            switch($ACL.AccessMask)
            {
                2032127 {$Perm = "Full Control"}
                1245631 {$Perm = "Change"}
                1179817 {$Perm = "Read"}
            }
            $obj = $obj + "$Domain\$user  $Perm<br>"
        }
    }
    if(!($Share)){$obj = " ERROR: cannot enumerate share permissions. "}
    Return $obj
} # End Get-SharePermissions Function

Function Get-NTFSOwner($Path){
    $ACL = Get-Acl -Path $Path
    $a = $ACL.Owner.ToString()
    Return $a
} # End Get-NTFSOwner Function

Function Get-NTFSPerms($Path){
    $ACL = Get-Acl -Path $Path
    $obj = @()
    foreach($a in $ACL.Access){
        $aA = $a.FileSystemRights
        $aB = $a.AccessControlType
        $aC = $a.IdentityReference
        #$aD = $a.IsInherited
        #$aE = $a.InheritanceFlags
        #$aF = $a.PropagationFlags
        #$obj = $obj + "$aC | $aB | $aA | $aD | $aE | $aF <br>"
		$obj = $obj + "$aC | $aB | $aA <br>"
    }
    Return $obj
} # End Get-NTFSPerms Function

Function Get-AllShares{
    $a = Get-WmiObject win32_share -Filter "type=0"
    Return $a
} # End Get-AllShares Function

TO run any script against a list of anythin we would enumerate the file.
PowerShell Code
Double-click the code block to select all.
Get-Content servers.txt |
     ForEach-Object{
         # call script file and pass variable $_ which is current line of file
         c:\folder\filename.ps1 -server $_
     }

You will also ned to alter the file with a PAram statement and pass the variable to the Get-AllShares function.
PowerShell Code
Double-click the code block to select all.
# add to top of file
Param(
    $server
)

Do you mean pass the parameter here?
PowerShell Code
Double-click the code block to select all.
Function Get-AllShares{
$a = Get-WmiObject win32_share -ComputerName $Server -Filter "type=0" 
    Return $a
} # End Get-AllShares Function
I seem to be getting some progress because the follwoing error is for shares that exist on the remote server and not the local machine where I'm running the script

error:

Get-Acl : Cannot find path 'D:\eXpress' because it does not exist.
At D:\Utilities\Scripts\PowerShell\Test\Test-GetPerms.ps1:34 char:19

I take it you didn't write the code you posted. If you didn't write it I suspect you do not know anything about scripting or the NT file system.

That is correct I did not write this code and know little about scripting.

Thanks for your help.

This part of the error: "Cannot find path 'D:\eXpress' because it does not exist"...tells me that the script is being run against the remote server in the servers.txt file because the eXpress share does exist on the remote server only and not on the computer where I am running the script...

Yes - you have to modofy the scipt to use the remote server everywhere you are getting information.

If you do not write scripts then you misght want to look for a script that does what you want.

I have no idea what you are trying to do. Have you tried using ICACLS?

What is the purpose for this?

I've tried other scripts that I found on the net but nothing seems to work for me. The purpose of this script is to report on the Share and NTFS permissions of specific shares located on remote servers. The scripts that I've found either don't work, don't give me all of the info I need or only work on the local machine. No I have not tried ICACLS-I'll give it a try.

Thanks again

There are two things at work her.

1. Shares have permissions that are no in the file system.
2. FIles and folders have permissions.

For files and folders use ICACLS.

For shares use SubInAcl.

These are user utilities and don't require scripting skills. Both utilites and scipting require a technical training in Windows and are not ususally understandable by end users.
