[Tutor] Python and Active directory

[John M. Purser]

You might want to take a look at the windows help file for "Command
Reference".  Specifically the "Net User" command and "Net Group".  Have your
python script attach to the output of these commands and work with the
string it creates.  There's also the windows scripting host, about which I
know very little, but which may offer much more functionality than these
command.com options.

For permissions, assuming we're talking windows look at the Cacls command
which "Displays or modifies access control lists (ACLs) of files."

On Unix you can do the same thing with ls -al and parse the result.

While we're at it, I could really use one that listed all folders on a
server and which users have been given rights to each of them. How
similar would that be to the first request, above?
