.SYNOPSIS
    Create CSV, HTML, and XML reports of permissions
.DESCRIPTION
    Benefits:
    - Presents complex nested permissions and group memberships in a report that is easy to read
    - Provides additional information about each account such as Name, Department, Title
    - Multithreaded with caching for fast results
    - Works as a scheduled task
    - Works as a custom sensor script for Paessler PRTG Network Monitor (Push sensor recommended due to execution time)
 
    Supports these scenarios:
    - local folder paths (resolved to UNC paths using the administrative shares, so the computer name is shown in the reports)
    - UNC folder paths
    - DFS folder paths (resolves them to their UNC folder targets, and reports permissions on each folder target)
    - Active Directory domain trusts, and unresolved SIDs for deleted accounts
 
    Does not support these scenarios:
    - Mapped network drives (ToDo enhancement; for now use UNC paths)
    - ACL Owners or Groups (ToDo enhancement; for now only the DACL is reported)
    - File permissions (ToDo enhancement; for now only folder permissions are reported)
    - Share permissions (ToDo enhancement; for now only NTFS permissions are reported)
 
    Behavior:
    - Gets all permissions for the target folder
    - Gets non-inherited permissions for subfolders (if specified)
    - Exports the permissions to a .csv file
    - Uses ADSI to get information about the accounts and groups listed in the permissions
    - Exports information about the accounts and groups to a .csv file
    - Uses ADSI to recursively retrieve group members
        - The entire chain of group memberships is not retrieved (for performance reasons)
        - This means nested group members are retrieved, but nested groups themselves are not
    - Exports information about all accounts with access to a .csv file
    - Exports information about all accounts with access to a report generated as a .html file
    - Outputs an XML-formatted list of common misconfigurations for use in Paessler PRTG Network Monitor as a custom XML sensor
.INPUTS
    [System.IO.DirectoryInfo[]] TargetPath parameter. Strings can be passed to this parameter and will be auto-cast to DirectoryInfo.
.OUTPUTS
    [System.String] XML PRTG sensor output
.NOTES
    This code has not been reviewed or audited by a third party
 
    This code has limited or no tests
 
    It was designed for presenting reports to non-technical management or administrative staff
 
    It is convenient for that purpose but it is not recommended for compliance reporting or similar formal uses
 
    ToDo bugs/enhancements: https://github.com/IMJLA/Export-Permission/issues
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test and all subfolders
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -ExcludeAccount 'BUILTIN\\Administrator'
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test and all subfolders
 
    Exclude the built-in Administrator account from the HTML report
 
    The ExcludeAccount parameter uses RegEx, so the \ in BUILTIN\Administrator needed to be escaped.
 
    The RegEx escape character is \ so that is why the regular expression needed for the parameter is 'BUILTIN\\Administrator'
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -ExcludeAccount @(
        'BUILTIN\\Administrators',
        'BUILTIN\\Administrator',
        'CREATOR OWNER',
        'NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM'
    )
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test and all subfolders
 
    Exclude from the HTML report:
    - The built-in Administrator account
    - The built-in Administrators group and its members (unless they appear elsewhere in the permissions)
    - The CREATOR OWNER security principal
    - The computer account (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM)
 
    Note: CREATOR OWNER will still be reported as an alarm in the PRTG XML output
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -ExcludeEmptyGroups
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test and all subfolders
 
    Exclude empty groups from the HTML report (leaving accounts only)
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -IgnoreDomain 'CONTOSO'
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test and all subfolders
 
    Remove the CONTOSO domain prefix from associated accounts and groups
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -IgnoreDomain 'CONTOSO1','CONTOSO2'
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test and all subfolders
 
    Remove the CONTOSO1\ and CONTOSO2\ domain prefixes from associated accounts and groups
 
    Across the two domains, accounts with the same samAccountNames will be considered equivalent
 
    Across the two domains, groups with the same Names will be considered equivalent
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -LogDir C:\Logs
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test and all subfolders
 
    Redirect logs and output files to C:\Logs instead of the default location in AppData
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -LevelsOfSubfolders 0
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test only (no subfolders)
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -LevelsOfSubfolders 2
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test
 
    Only include subfolders to a maximum of 2 levels deep (C:\Test\Level1\Level2)
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath C:\Test -Title 'New Custom Report Title'
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder C:\Test and all subfolders
 
    Change the title of the HTML report to 'New Custom Report Title'
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath '\\ad.contoso.com\DfsNamespace\DfsFolderWithTarget'
 
    The target path is a DFS folder with folder targets
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the DFS folder targets associated with this path
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath '\\ad.contoso.com\DfsNamespace\DfsFolderWithoutTarget\DfsSubfolderWithoutTarget\DfsSubfolderWithTarget'
 
    The target path is a DFS subfolder with folder targets
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the DFS folder targets associated with this path
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath '\\ad.contoso.com\DfsNamespace\DfsFolderWithoutTarget\DfsSubfolderWithoutTarget\DfsSubfolderWithTarget\Subfolder'
 
    The target path is a subfolder of a DFS subfolder with folder targets
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the DFS folder targets associated with this path
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath '\\ad.contoso.com\'
 
    This is an edge case that is not currently supported
 
    The target path is the root of an AD domain
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for ? Invalid/fail param validation?
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath '\\computer.ad.contoso.com\'
 
    This is an edge case that is not currently supported
 
    The target path is the root of a server
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for ? Invalid/fail param validation?
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath '\\ad.contoso.com\DfsNamespace'
 
    This is an edge case that is not currently supported
 
    The target path is a DFS namespace
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder on the DFS namespace server associated with this path
 
    Add a warning that they are permissions from the DFS namespace server and could be confusing
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath '\\ad.contoso.com\DfsNamespace\DfsFolderWithoutTarget'
 
    This is an edge case that is not currently supported.
 
    The target path is a DFS folder without a folder target
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder on the DFS namespace server associated with this path
 
    Add a warning that they are permissions from the DFS namespace server and could be confusing
.EXAMPLE
    Export-Permission.ps1 -TargetPath '\\ad.contoso.com\DfsNamespace\DfsFolderWithoutTarget\DfsSubfolderWithoutTarget'
 
    This is an edge case that is not currently supported.
 
    The target path is a DFS subfolder without a folder target.
 
    Generate reports on the NTFS permissions for the folder on the DFS namespace server associated with this path
 
    Add a warning that they are permissions from the DFS namespace server and could be confusing
