Windows 7 How to find files+folders with access perm.not equal to owner?

[pstein]

Assume I have a big directory tree.

1.) How can I find out all (non-inherited) access permissions of user unequal to the current owner?

2.) How can I find out all (non-inherited) access permissions of users which are unequal to "Administrators" and "peter'?

3.) How can I find out all (non-inherited) access permissions of users which are equal to "foobar"'?

Peter

You could accomplish this pretty easily with Powershell from the Get-ACL cmdlet. I can write some examples when I have some time later today.

Nice suggestion. Thank you

Unfortunately I have out-of-memory problems when running Powershell scripts over huge directory trees.

So I would prefer a binary tool

Powershell technically is running binary code. You can simply force garbage collection to keep memory usage down.

Regardless of how you do it data will be stored in memory and if you have extreme memory constraints you will need to write custom code or script to keep from exhausting memory.

How much memory do you have and how many objects are you processing?

 

[pstein]

8GB RAM and ~ 700000 files

You wouldn't run out of memory then and even then you can add explicated memory clean up code.
