@ Martin Unfortunately it's not possible to specify the name of the output-file. A feature like that is fairly easy to implement for the GUI interface but it's a bit more difficult for the command-line interface, too many lines of code have to be changed and this is the reason why I cannot include in this comment a simple code hack for you. The easiest way to obtain a "custom" output-file name is to apply the change requested by William, this works both for the GUI and for the command-line interface.

Hi, great Tool!
Is it possible to specify the name of the output-file? That would be a nice Feature.

@ William Sure, you need to edit ntfsStuff.vbs and insert the following code:

Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Network" )
logfile = CurrentPath & "\" & objNetwork.ComputerName & "_" & Right(Folderbyuser,Len(Folderbyuser)-InStrRev(Folderbyuser,"\")) & ".html"

just before line 169:

Set ObjLog = ObjFSO.CreateTextFile(logfile, ForWriting)	'Create or overwrite the output log

Is there any way to output the html with specific information. For example, serverName_folder.html ?

NTFS Stuff 1.3 released.
New features list:
- Command Line Interface: starting from this release it is possible to run "ntfsStuff.vbs" via the command prompt using the "cscript" scripting engine, this feature makes possibile to run NTFS Stuff remotely via "psexec" or locally as a scheduled task.
- UAC support: NTFS Stuff is able to automatically request an elevation of privileges when running on operating systems that support and make use of the User Account Control feature (Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2008 Server).
- "Access Denied" error handling further improved.
- Performance improvements: useless loops have been removed in order to improve the script execution speed.

This page has been updated with additional information on how to use these new features.

@ chris M.
Thanks for the feedback.
In the next days I will try to solve the second problem you have mentioned.

Very nice tool, I was searching for a tool to list out all permissions on a file server so we can decide what permissions to migrate to a new NAS appliance. The visual representation works very well.

A few comments:
-an export to CSV is always helpful, lets people massage the data as they need to.
-I couldn't scan a whole drive starting at the root, but needed to input a folder. adding this feature would be nice.
-remotely scanning folders across the network would also be nice.

Nice job again, though.

@ Brad Sorry but the script only works on the local machine, not on shared folders. Anyway... it might be possible to modify it so that it can be uploaded and executed on a remote server using the psexec tool.

Love the script. Is there a way to call a remote server and directory to report on?
