Windows file share - change permissions on a specific folder name that appears in multiple subdirectories

Question

We have a Windows Server 2008 shared folder, with the following structure:

Customer info
    Customer name (many customers folders)
        Project name (many more projects folders)
            01 Quotes & Orders
            02 Project Management
            03 Engineering
            04 Misc

I need to change the permission on the 01 Quotes & Orders folder, inside every \{customer info}\{customer name}\{project name}\ path.

I'm thinking a script that would give me the full path of every 01 Quotes & Orders folder, then use that as an input to change the permissions.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Answer 1

In PowerShell you could do something like this

Get-ChildItem 'C:\CustomerInfo' -Filter '01 Quotes & Orders' -Recurse

to get a list of all 01 Quotes & Orders objects. Pipe the output of the above command into a ForEach-Object loop and use Get-Acl/Set-Acl to modify the folders' permissions.
