checking permissions on specific directories of MANY computers across the network

Is there a way I can check and/or set permissions on our workstations all at once? I know I can go
to each specific machine through the admin share, but that will take a bunch of time.

Is there a script I can have everybody run?

Our users are no frills Domain Users. However, the Domain Users group needs full administrative
rights to several Program Files subdirectories.

Thanks.

That's almost what I'm looking for. The only problem is that I have to select each computer one at
a time. I was hoping to grab the entire network at once.
 
You can configure file system under Group Policy/computer configuration to propagate
ntfs permissions or you can use a startup script using cacls or xcacls under computer
configuration. Rather than configure file system at the domain level, you may want
to create an OU where you can configure it via a GPO there and then move the
computers into that OU after trying a test computer first. --- Steve

Thank you. I'll look into this the first of next week.
