Re: Folder creator owner

No you can not specify a default owner unfortunately. You need to have a program that scans through and takes ownership as needed. Note that doing this will impact any disk quota stuff you are doing as that is all based off of the owner.

Thanks Roger,

Question: Is there a way to define a default owner of folders and files in Windows 2000 ? Does Windows Server 2003 manage this the same way ?

Our compagny has to be SOX compliance and this situation is causing us trouble.

Thanks for the help !

Hi all,

We have a windows 2000 file server

We recently discover that a Folder Creator Owner could change the folder
permission right. So all our security settings could be over pass by a owner
who set it's own permission.

question: Is there a way to prevent a Owner of a folder or a file to change
the permissions of it ? So, still be the owner, but wihtout the permissions
to change the security settings.


Thanks

Antoine Auger-Giroux
