There's a utility called OWNADM.EXE that should to the trick. I can
send you the EXE if you like. Or you can download it from:

http://www.loa.espci.fr/winnt/ownadm/ownadm.htm

There's also a utility in the Win2k Resource Kit called TAKEOWN that
can be used, but it only works on individual files and folders...its
not recursive. That might be a better solution since its MS and you
know the names of your policy files.
