    To modify share permission from command line or script, please try subinacl tool:  

    subinacl /share \\serverName\shareName /grant=everyone=r

    You really want to grant that user permissions for the NTFS folder that is the folder being shared. You dont really want to do any per user administration on the share - its an educated guess based on the limited information

    At this point we are in the process of migrating to a new domain and we need to replace the share permissions.   I agree we can re-visit your suggestion after we get through this migration process.

    Thank you very much as I tested this and it works like a champ.   I just did not know if subinacl was compatible with windows 2008 r2.
