Vista - set auditing on directories with script?

Is it possible to set auditing on directories (or set the 'allow
inheritable auditing entries from the parent to propagate to this
object and all child objects' setting in particular) with VBScript?

We ran a hardening script (which imported an INF file) on a couple of
our servers and several root directories are not showing the auditing
settings we set at the root level. IE:

c:\ has auditing set for "everyone, fail"
c:\warehouse does not

however, warehouse existed as a directory when we ran the hardening
script. If I manually open the security settings on the folder and
check that box, then the auditing shows. The problem is we only want
to enable the auditing inheritance, not change any existing security
rights on the folder.

Ideas, pointers, references... any would be helpful. I'm learning
vbscript and have a virtual comp I can blow up as needed for the
learning process (just start another from the template).

Thank you for any assistance.
