Subj: Re: [NTSEC] How to remove the Everyone Group On newly setup computers, you could use the NTSEC utilities to apply a set of saved permissions across a filesystem. The way to use it is to set up the permissions on files you want to restore later (such as on %SystemRoot%), run SAVEACL which will save those perms to a file. When you set up additional computers, just run RESTACL to reapply the default set of permissions from the file. For instance: saveacl -r c:\winnt35 winnt35.acl - save permissions to winnt35.acl restacl winnt35.acl - restore permissions This won't help with share permissions though, and I don't think there is a way to remove BUILTIN groups. You can get the NTSEC utilities on ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/wo/woodardk/. -Keith (This is for Windows NT, basically on Intel)
