Set windows file permissions

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi All

I have recently changed to a windows 2003 web server and I previously used
the ADsSecurity object to set folder permissions on webs that were created
using vbscript. Now, I get a cannot create object error and I assume this is
because the ADsSecurity.dll does not exist on windows server 2003.

I was wandering if I should register this dll with 2003 and if my code
should then work or if there is a new way of doing things with windows
server 2003.

Any advice would be truly welcomed.
Thanx in advance
Joe

Hi

For WinXP or Win2k3, use the builtin IADsSecurityUtility object.

Set oADsSecurityUtility = CreateObject("ADsSecurityUtility")

Cheers, I thought there must be another way as it was not installed by
default.
