Hi. Does anybody know if I can use scripts to set permissions on certain files.
Letīs say that I decides that only the admingroup shall have access to the notepad. Can I use a script on the server so that when someone logs onto a workstation on the network, the script removes the permissions that are there and grants only the admin group access to it?
Suggestions?

if you a trying to have restricted access to certain applications on the client computer
you will need to implement system policies

policies allow you to have custom desktops for users... example.. admin can have access to ever application.. and user can be restricted to use only certain applications

Yes, you can. I do. Makes life much easier. I also use policies and profiles. Look at xcacls in the resource kit. Set NoAccess for Users group to keep your users from running apps. It is more secure than using policies.
