Hello

I need to recreate a users account. Which will give the user a new SID (as
i believe his SID to have become corrupt).

Is there a utility that can be run our file server to check what permissions
this users has to all files??

If so can someone let me know

Regards

Gareth

You can try AccessEnum from Sysinternals.com. Or CACLS, XCACLS... you name
it :)

Once you have created your new account, disable the old one, don't delete it.
If you delete the account then permissions on shares/files will become
'Account Unknown'.

Hopefully you have used groups to permission shares and files so there won't
be too many user specific permissions ;-)
