NTFS Folder Audit ProDirt LLC
Install NTFS Folder Audit with WinGet
winget install --id=ProDirt.NTFSFolderAudit -e NTFS Folder Audit is a tool designed to simplify NTFS folder permissions auditing across local paths or UNC shares. It eliminates the need for manual processes like using icacls or PowerShell by providing a fast, readable view of who has access to what on any Windows file share.
Key Features:
- Scans local paths or UNC shares to any specified depth and generates a permissions grid showing identity, access type, decoded rights, inheritance state, and flags.
- Flags folders with non-inherited ACLs, which can indicate either deliberate security boundaries or potential mistakes.
- Compares two paths side by side to identify permission discrepancies between a share and its backup or other locations.
- Exports reports as self-contained interactive HTML files or flat CSV for further analysis or distribution.
- Includes a command-line interface for scheduled audits and headless deployments, supporting automation in enterprise environments.
Target Audience and Benefits: Ideal for MSP technicians, IT administrators, sysadmins, and compliance teams who need to manage NTFS permissions efficiently. This tool helps users save time by streamlining audits, producing clear reports for clients or stakeholders, and ensuring network security standards are met without complex manual processes.
Available via WinGet, you can install NTFS Folder Audit using the command winget install ProDirt.NTFSFolderAudit, making it easy to deploy in any environment. The tool is free with no licence key, trial timer, or gated features, designed for reliability and ease of use across all Windows environments.
