Share thousands folders by searching keyword in name on a single server.

hello team,

we have rather unusual request.  a user requires share more 2 thousand folders limited number of people.  these folders have 3 different names in common but different paths. 

 

example: folder a1 @ d:\xx\x1xx\xx\  similarly b1 @ d:\xx\x2x3\xx3 , c1 @ d:\xx\x1xx\xx\    so have around 800 paths , every path has 2 or 3 folders common in name.

i looking script search on d drive either of 3 words , add group modify permission in acl ntfs permission.

hi orion,

agree chen v, can refer powershell script below start:

to filter folder string under drive d:\:

get-childitem d:\ -recurse |where{($_.psiscontainer) -and (($_.fullname -like "*\a1") -or ($_.fullname -like "*\b1"))}

to set folder ntfs permission, please refer article:

powershell - editing permissions on file or folder
