    Then the first thing you need to do is the retake ownership of that folder
    and all its subfolders, then you can apply the permissions. The best
    non-destructive way to do this is to use the xcacls.exe command so the
    existing permission don't get touched. For example try this

    xcalcs \\server\share\folder /E /T /G domain\username:F

    this command grants domain\username full control to \\server\share\folder
    and all its subdirectories while keeping the existing permissions intact.
