Hi folks

I am writing (infact completed apart from this one part that I would like to add but not essential!) a script to create a users home drive on a network server and change the permissions on the folder.

Now all that works fine except I am wanting to echo back on screen what the settings are on the folder after they have been changed to prove they are set.

I have used CACLS to change the permissions and I know that I can run CALCS again againsts the folder to list the current permissions. But how do I return the results from shell back to a MsgBox or similar.

I know I could write to a text file then pump that into a box but was wondering (hoping) there was a way to have it put straight in.

so far I have tried

'echo folder permissions back to screen
strPerm = objShell.run "CACLS " & strPath <- BUT IT DOESN'T LIKE THIS LINE
wscript.echo strPerm

and

'echo folder permissions back to screen
strPerm = "CACLS" & strPath
wscript.echo <- WHICH OBVIOUSLY ECHOs "CACLS \\Server\folder" to screen :)

Any pointers please?

Many thanks

Look at the Exec Method of WSHShell instead of the Run Method.
