Cosmic Cruizer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to find the WMI call to check hard drive permissions. Finding the permissions of shares is pretty straight forward, but I'm not having any luck for checking drive permissions. I'm trying to write a program that will check to see if the Everyone permission is set on any drives. I also need to check to see what rights the Authenticated users have. Thanks.

    perlmonks is not WMI reference, search on MSDN

      I'm writing Perl code using WMI calls. If you have a better suggestion instead of using WMI, I will consider your expertise.

        Problem solved. Using Win32::Perms($Dir), where $Dir is found using another Win32 library.
