Script to change permissions on a workstation.

I would like to script permission changes on multiple directories on client workstations. For example, I would like to give full access to:
C:\Program Files
C:\windows\temp
(+ a few others)
and the reg key: HKLM\Software\

This is so the end user can install certain updates to applications without granting permission to install full applications. Can i accomplish this with a script?

Google "vbscript repository" microsoft has a number of samples there that will let you create a vbscript to adjust permissions. You can't do it with only a Kaseya script, but can use Kaseya to push down the VB and execute it.

Specifically, google for XCACLS.vbs

I use it all the time for my scripts, and it's really handy

You dont even need to use VB, just point your script to download Xcacls.exe from your Kaseya server and work it from a command line.
