Thanks for your reply. how can I modify this to pass the path as a parameter? I am trying to do it but there is no output.

You can encapsulate the commands in a stored procedure like this;

CREATE PROCEDURE ExecCmd 
	@PATH AS VARCHAR(1024)
AS
BEGIN
	DECLARE @Command AS VARCHAR(1024)
	SET @Command = REPLACE('attrib "<path>"', '<path>', @PATH)
	EXEC xp_cmdshell @Command
END

Calling the stored procedure with a parameter is done like this;

EXEC ExecCmd 'C:\Program Files'

Good luck

Thaks for the answer. It is working fine for the Program Files path. the strange thing is that it is not working for other folders that I am passing. Is only returning the folder path only, without any R or something else. And these folders have full permissions (Everyone has full permissions). Do you have an idea of what is going wrong?

Thanks

Sorry, my bad. The ATTRIB command returns the attributes of a file/folder. You don't want the attributes, but the effective permissions per user/windows account. These can be obtained in a similar fashion, using the CACLS command;

CACLS "C:\Program Files"

Hope this helps Smile | :)

Thanks very much. It realy works. Sry for bothering again but if I had to find only the permissions for the current user how could i modify that? only if possible? Thanks again

Eddy Vluggen26-May-09 20:42

I'm afraid that's somewhat harder to do; the effective permissions aren't set for a user, but for different groups of people. That's one of the reasons why we don't check if we got permission to write to a folder, but simply write, relying on the exception-mechanism to warn when there's insufficient rights.

The only way of getting the permissions for the user, is checking whether he/she is a member of the groups that get listed. Your user may be a member of multiple groups, so that makes it somewhat more complex.

Your user can have read-access for a particular folder, based on the CREATOR OWNER group, but he/she might *also* have write permissions for *that same* folder if he/she's also a member of BUILTIN\Administrators.

That means three steps;
* Get the permissions for each group on a folder
* Check whether the user is part of that group
* Add all permissions, for each group that the user is a member of. That's the effective permission for the folder.

Good hunting Smile | :)

Re: How i can know who the users connected in my application?

23-May-09 8:16

That's a large and complex problem. I'd suggest breaking it apart into smaller problems, like;

* maintain a list of users in the database
* put a "marker" on those user-records who signed in, and removing it when they log out
* displaying a list of users who got the "I'm logged in" marker (who's online now-query)
* send a message to a user (what will you do if the user signs out before the message is delivered?)
* ..etc

Good luck Smile | :)

I'd suggest you maintain a table of who log on/off your application and use this as the basis for your solution.

Every time someone logs on, add them to the table. Everytime the log off, remove them from the table.

You can then do a simple

select

satement to get a list of all the logged on users and display that in a list box.

Thanks in advance

How to install SQL server Named Instance , because during installations whenever i choose option of Named Instance and give name then it adds System name with this
like System\ServerInstance.

Can i install an instance with Name only without System Name like 'ServerInstance'
or can i rename existing instance

Best of regards,

Mirza Rahman

An instance is ALWAYS identified by server\instance. The idea being to allow multiple instances on a single server. If you need a SERVER named something then rename the server and then install SQL server.

Why this is important to you is beyond me!

Thanks for the Post but Changing the Name of the Server will be quite expensive as other services have to re config

Actually I have to Audit a System in which the Developer has Hard coded the Server Name everywhere and in reporting etc , i know its wrong , to avoid changing the Name everywhere i want to rename instance to its Hard coded instance is there any way

Best Of Regards ,

I presume you no longer have the developer Dead | X|

.

I'm afraid you are in for a nasty bit of work, you can't change the server name , you can't format the instance to meet your needs.

I don't think aliases will meet your needs but you should investigate that, also look into linked servers.

If all else fails you will need to rewrite the code. DO NOT DO A SEARCH & REPLACE, this will only move the problem into the future for some other poor schmuck to deal with.
