Hello group
I'm trying to list the users and groups who has read access to a file.
I use .NET 2.0 and FileInfo.GetAccessControl().GetAccessRules(...) and then
loop through the FileSystemAccessRule objects. Using these objects, it is
easy to use rule.IdentityReference.Translate(typeof(NTAccount) ) to get the
NTAccount object.
I have noticed that some of the NTAccounts can belong to BUILTIN domains,
e.g. BUILTIN\Users. I need to translate this BUILTIN domain name to an
actual computer or domain name. Just like it is done when I click on the
Security tab of the file property dialog.
If it is on my local computer, I guess that I sould just translate it into
the local computer name. However, what should I do if it is on a remote
computer? If the remote computer is a Domain controller, it looks as if I
should translate it to <DOMAIN>\Users instead of <COMPUTERNAME>\Users.
My problem is, that i don't know if the file is a local file or on a remote
computer. And if I could fint out if it is a local or remote file, how do I
find out if it is on the domain controller?
If this is the wrong group to ask, then please let me know.
Thank you for your help
Regards
Anders
