Unsolved File security & ownership

---

I'm trying to research file access and ownership to solve some issues on our file share server, could anyone point me to a good ITPro video covering such topics in detail please. Many thanks.

Hey @it-admin,

Many of our Windows 10 and Server 2016 episodes cover share and NTFS permissions. Can you be more specific on what you are trying to do?

Here is a PowerShell script that will list file info, including owner and last access time, for a directory, and export the info to a csv file.

$arr = @()
gci C:\scripts -recurse | ? {$_.PSIsContainer -eq $False} | % {
  $obj = New-Object PSObject
  $obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Directory $_.DirectoryName
  $obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Name $_.Name
  $obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Length $_.Length
  $obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Owner ((Get-ACL $_.FullName).Owner)
  $obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Access $_.LastAccessTime 
  $obj | Add-Member NoteProperty Extension $_.Extension
  $arr += $obj
  }
  $arr | Export-CSV -notypeinformation "report.csv"

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
