Setting directory NTFS directory permissions (W2k3 Server)

Hi all,

Using C#, does anyone know how I can manipulate the file permissions on a
folder I've just created such that the folder does not inherit permissions
from its parent.
My code currently has a number of lines that look something like:

dSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(sid,
FileSystemRights.FullControl,
InheritanceFlags.None,
PropagationFlags.NoPropagateInherit,
AccessControlType.Allow));


There is one line for each sid for which I want to set permissions.

The variable sid is, as you would imagine, a security identifier. This
works fine, except that these permissions are added to the inherited
permissions, whereas I want to replace the existing (inherited) permissions.
The programme is scheduled to replace an existing script which calls xcacls
like this:

xcacls \\centralcy03\users\student\edu\dv06004249\profile /P "Domain
Admins":F dv06004249:F ITAdvisors:F /T /Y,1,true

This appears to replace all existing permissions, which is what we want.

Many thanks,




Peter
