I need a utility or some other method that will go out to all of the
machines that are on our domain, scan their file shares, and come back
with a list of the share and the permissions on that share. The catch
is that I need to schedule this scan to run once a week and send an
email alert when it finds a share with the "Everyone" group assigned
to it. Does anyone know of a way or a piece of software that will
help me accomplish my goal?

It sounds like you may want to gin up (or rebuild from availible scripts) a
VBScript to run locally on the servers that you would like the shares crawled
on. Then deploy this script as a scheduled task to each server you would
like to monitor.

The script would be relatively simple to write and implement as APIs are
availible and exposed for getting listings of shares, thier local folder
root, and using FSO to crawl the share's filestructure.
