I'm troubleshooting permissions on an NT4SP6a server for an IIS site, and
I've been using a batch file (below) to assign bulk permissions for the iis
folders, which uses cacls to edit the permissions. When I go to check out
the folder permissions through the Explorer Properties GUI, I don't see
these changes reflected, but they do show when I do a cacls for that folders
fiiles from the console, and I don't see any errors being reported from the
batch file. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or misunderstanding?

<permiis.bat>
@Echo off
rem sets the accounts for iis access
rem expects the user|group:R for %1
rem I didn't include the :R as I wanted to be able to allow multiple
users|groups per line
echo y| cacls h:\corporate\lwintranet\*.* /t /e /g %1
echo y| cacls c:\winnt\*.* /e /g %1
echo y| cacls c:\winnt\system32\*.* /e /g %1
echo y| cacls c:\winnt\system32\inetsvr\*.* /t /e /g %1
echo y| cacls "c:\Program Files\Common Files\*.*" /t /e /g %1
echo y| cacls j:\storedata\stores\*.* /t /e /g %1
Echo Permissions set for %1 on IIS Directories

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven: that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Tennyson, "Ulysses"
