From a CMD box, you can try something like this:

cd /D <desired starting point>

dir /a:d /s /b > c:\temp\dirlist.txt

for /F "tokens=*" %f in (c:\temp\dirlist.txt) do xcacls "%f" >> c:\temp\diracls.txt

Then edit and search diracls.txt

XCACLS comes on the W2K3 and WXP CD's in Support Tools. Also in the W2K Resource Kit and ...

If you wish to make a CMD file out of this, use %%f in place of %f. Also, clear out diracls.txt at the front of each run (echo. > c:\temp\diracls.txt or equiv.).

And if you make a CMD file, you could change the FOR command to:

for /F "tokens=*" %f in (c:\temp\dirlist.txt) do (

xcacls "%f" | Find /I "Domain\Group:" > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo %f

)

You can also check Heyna. Great tool, with a lot of options. Not free, it's $199 for the Standard edition. The Enterprise is $269 (it contains support for Terminal Server user properties, Exchange 5.5/2000/2003 Server mailbox integration, and WMI integration).
You have 30-days evaluation available, with all the options operational.
This is not a sales trick. I am not trying to sell anything to you, just to make you aware of a great product.
Good luck.
