Thank youfarismalaeb 

 

It worked. Can i print what permissions is this script setting and what were there on the child folder before ?

 

And does this below script looks fine or am i missing anything?

I am trying to get the parent folder for the child item and inherit the permissions. Just wanted to make sure, i am not redoing the same thing as it is in the for loop.

Script :

 

 

$the_shares = ('C:\OIMShare\abc\', 'C:\OIMShare\abc1\','C:\OIMShare1\def\','C:\OIMShare2\ghi\')
$allFolders=Get-ItemProperty -Path $the_shares
Write-Host "The Parent is " -ForegroundColor Green -NoNewline
$allFolders.Parent.Name
foreach ($Folder in $allFolders){
$Permission=get-acl -Path $Folder.FullName
$Permission.SetAccessRuleProtection($False,$true)
Set-Acl -Path $Folder.FullName -AclObject $Permission
}

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.
