Re: Moving Personal Folders

First, what you report, that taking ownership "very often fails" should
not be happening at all and is abnormal. There seems to be some root
issue that you probably should investigate as it may surface in other ways.

Try using the subinacl commandline utility to set ownership as this is
less tedious than user interface drill-in.

Hello,

I have just performed a replacement of our main file servers. We have
quota's setup for our users personal drives. I accidentally put the data
onto
1 drive & had to replicate the data else where. Now I have redundant data
sitting on 2 extra servers. As these folders were created when the Active
Directory account was created only the user & system have any control over
these folders. Is there a way that I can delete the files (80gb) on the
redundant servers.
I have tried to take ownership of the folders but it very often fails &
you
have to go to every individual file/folder & take ownership there.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Matt
