Mada,

All of this is relatively simple. There are tools
like DumpSec from SomarSoft, as well as freeware
options available through Perl. For example, if you
go to http://patriot.net/~carvdawg/perl.html, you'll
see a script called share.pl. This script dumps a lot
of the info you're referring to, for shares.

Pretty much anything you could imagine from an
NT/2K/XP system is available via Perl. At work, I run
a script every month that gives me all of our users,
their last logon date (and via which DC), as well as
those w/ RAS, Domain admin, locked out or disabled
accounts.
