I need to give full access rights to 50 Users to their home folders and
files. Also i need to give only write access to all users to home folders of
other users. Is there a shortcut way of doing this. assining rights to 50
different folders is time consuming.

I use win 2003 O/S

I suppose if the home folders names were the same as the user id's you
should be able to script something using a tool such as xcacls to do the
job.

Just list the folders and extract the user name and apply the permissions
from the extracted name.

You can script this as long as you have a list of users. I'm not going to
write the script for you but read the script in one user at a time and
create the folder and the share.

Then using xcacls go back and apply the permission set you want on each
user. I have run into problems on our SAN that if I try and apply
permissions immediately after the file/folder is created the permissions
can't be set. There is a lag on the system. So maybe you can do both at
once.
