Description keesvanvloten 2026-04-21 14:42:44 UTC 
When working on the file tree of a single GPO it is quite often required to run "samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset" to fix the permissions of the top-level directory of that GPO. 
Currently this command always checks and fixes all files on the sysvol share, that can take a long time and it is a waste of time when I just want the permissions of one specific directory to be fixed. 
It would save a lot of time if there was an option to do this, e.g. "samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset --path Policies/{<my-gpo-uuid>}". Is it feasible add this or something similar to the sysvolreset command?
