I would, but it wouldn't be for a Windows server. I don't belive chmod() works on windows and I'm not really sure what would, but I'll look into it.

I'm not sure chmod would do it - I need to assign access permissions to specific named users or groups

Does chown work in windows?

[Barand]

I can't find anything saying "not windows" for that one (unlike chmod) but it does say php is unlikely to be running with sufficient privileges to use it. Experimentation required when I'm back in the office next week.

 

I was thinking I'd have to ferret around in the active directory or maybe exec() an external program to do the switch.

 

Obstacle #1 to that is knowing how and where they are stored.

Yea you could always use C++ to make a command line version for a file permissions changer, that is an option.
