What is DSACLS.EXE how to set ACL of AD objects

DSACLS.EXE

DSACLS is a support tool command line program for manipulating the ACL of AD objects. The tool is useful for batch scripting changes to the security model, which makes it ideal for implementing a delegation model. Care must be taken however, as the tool directly manipulates the underlying security and does not provide ‘safety net’ prompts. The tool assumes the user knows what he / she are doing. The command syntax of the tool is relatively simple but an understanding of AD and the security model is essential. This command-line tool is built into Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2 and is available when the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) server role installed. The DSACLS command requires elevated privileges. Below command will delegate user “User1” with the permission to delete organizational unit “sales” and its child objects.
