Okay, so here’s another useful script.
Commerce Server 2007 requires you to give service accounts write permissions to various files and folders. This script assigns the write permissions to the Catalog Web service, the Temporary ASP.NET folder, and the Windows Temporary folder. These permission allow you to run the Business User applications through the Business Management Web services.
In order to run this script, you must have the XCACLS.vbs file available. Learn more about this VBScript here, and download it here.
Here’s the script:
‘ Author: Wade Wegner
‘ Create date: 06/13/2007
‘ Description: Automate the task of assigning permissions
‘ File Name: AssignCSPermissions.vbs
‘ ==========================================================
‘ Declare the users
Dim users(4)
users(0) = “RunTimeUser”
users(1) = “CatalogWebSvc”
users(2) = “MarketingWebSvc”
users(3) = “OrdersWebSvc”
users(4) = “ProfilesWebSvc”
‘ Run the Load method
Load
Sub Load()
’ Write permissions to the catalog auth role
strObject = “C:InetpubwwwrootCatalogWebServiceCatalogAuthorizationStore.xml”
UpdatePermissions strObject, users(1)
’ Write permissions to temporary ASP.NET folder
strObject = “C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files”
For Each user IN users
UpdatePermissions strObject, user
Next
’ Write permissions to the Windows temporary folder
strObject = “C:WINDOWSTemp”
For Each user IN users
UpdatePermissions strObject, user
Next
End Sub
‘ Update the permissions of the folder/file
Sub UpdatePermissions(strLocation, strUser)
Set objShell = CreateObject(“Wscript.Shell”)
’ Make sure to have the xcacls.vbs file available. Download from:
’ http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/7/8/f786aaf3-a37b-45ab-b0a2-8c8c18bbf483/xcacls_installer.exe
objShell.Run “xcacls.vbs “”" + strLocation + “”" /G “ + strUser + “:XW /E”, 2, True<
/SPAN>
End Sub
* Note that, in order to run this script, you may have to run “cscript.exe /h:cscript” from the command prompt, which changes the default scripting engine from Wscript to Cscript.
After running this script, you will have updated the permissions and you didn’t have to do it manually!
