Not sure about the WMI service working - my guess is that it won't but that is what it is ... a guess ... - but you can do quite a bit with the XML API and even do it in VBScript. There are both Java and VBScript examples in the developer community. You may have to punt to something a little more simplistic (shelling out to cacls or other command line tools in your scripts) to set ACLs. The API documentation is pretty thorough.

Hi,
best advice would be to get a Celerra or a Simulator (VSA) and try it.
We have a full CIFS API implemented to things like cacls or others that use the CIFS API do work.
ADSI calls from vb.script or PowerShell should also work
For example the regular Windows Shared Folders MMC snapin works just fine on Celerra CIFS servers – as does the quota editor.
I am not familiar with WMI – but I think it requires a server component that’s only implemented in Microsoft Windows servers.
