Security Explorer 9.8 - Whats New

Bulk removal of permissions

NTFS Security module only. You can now use the Search module to easily delete both explicit and inherited permissions on a specific user on specified folders.

For example, Peter has explicit access permission on the Customer folder, and all subfolders have inherited permissions. You want to remove Peter’s permission on all folders with Internal in the folder name.

Using the Search tab, set the search scope to C:\Customer, browse to find Peter’s account, select to search for both Inherited Permissions and Explicit Permissions, add *Internal* as a folder search criteria, and click Search. All permissions that belong to Peter on all folders with Internal in the name display. From the search results, delete selected permissions.

Retry options for resetting password

To help you manage password resets, several features were added to the Group and User Management module.

To help you quickly change the passwords on local administrator accounts, a new check box was added to the Group/User Search Criteria tab. Select Search for local administrator accounts, and run the search. From the search results, right-click the results, and choose Change Password.
If any password resets failed, you can select to save failed computers to a search scope to repeat the search with only the failed computers. Select Save Failed Computers to Scope, and repeat the search. Right-click the results, and choose Change Password.
A new column was added to the Object and Search Result panes that shows the date the password was last set so you can easily see which passwords were reset versus those that may have failed.

Modify registry values

In the Registry Security module, you can now add, modify, and delete values in a selected registry key. You also can save the list of values to a .TXT file. Open the Registry Security module, open the Browse tab, select a registry key, and select Tools | Display Registry Values. Use the buttons to modify the values in the registry key.

To quickly find a registry key, use the new Registry Key Search Criteria tab in the Search module. Just type in a string using the * or ? wildcards to locate a registry key. From the results list, right-click a registry key, and choose Display Registry Values to modify values or Delete Registry Key to delete the key.
