MOSS Security Enumerator

I talked about filling in the gaps in MOSS in an earlier article. This is a script that helped us in troubleshooting security issues. We were iterating through our sites to present custom navigation, and the nav menu would break if the sites permissions had changed. This quickly became not fun, so I created this powershell script that will identify sites with custom security (as opposed to inheriting from the parent).

These types of scripts also become useful two years later. The site has been in production for a while, people of come and gone, new groups have built new ideas on new sites and your security team/auditor/nosy manager wants to know who has access to what sites. That is not fun to compile by hand.

This script takes two parameters -URL (the top level web application you want to audit) and -LogFile (the path to the html file the script will create)
