Logon Script set permissions on local directory !TG 09-07-2005

I have a Windows 2003 Ent Server With Windows 2000 and XP workstations
logging on.
I have a program called BGInfo that sets the background to a standard
background that contains the PC name, IP and some other information that
is handy to know easily. But even though the user is part of the
Administrator group (not domain admin) they can not run the program
because they do not have access to create the BMP in the windows directory.
Is anyone aware of a script that can set the permissions on a local
folder so users logging on can make changes to a folder they normally
would not be able to?

A local administrator would by default have full control permissions to
every folder with the possible exception of other users profile folders. You
may have a Group Policy restriction of some sort under user
configuration/administrative templates that is causing the problem. On the
Windows 2003 domain controller for the XP Pro domain computers you can use
the Resultant Set of Policy mmc snapin to see what Group Policy settings are
applied to a user and what Group Policy is applying the setting to see if
that is causing the problem. To answer your question you can use a Group
Policy "startup" script using the cacls command to change permissions on a
folder and the SysInternals has free tools such as filemon and regmon that
can help determine access problems by logging real time access to files and
registry keys. --- Steve
