Re: Administrators do not have Owner Permissions



Hi,

In this document Managing Existing Shares
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/winntas/deploy/confeat/10wntpcb.mspx?mfr=true
under Managing Directory and File Permissions > Taking Ownership of Files
there are step-by-step instructions on how to take ownership of the files.

There is also command line tool called Takeown. Its use is described here

How to Use the TakeOwn Utility to Manage Shares in Windows NT 4.0
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;269269

Note: this will remove any current permissions from files and folders.

We are trying to migrate data from our old NT 4 servers to new 2003 AD
servers. Whilst copying data we have come across some directories that
have
been created by users that have had the ownership changed. They have
removed
the Administrator account and just left their own name as the owner. This
means that we are unable to copy their data.

Is there some command line tool I can run against all files and folders to
add Addministrators as the Owner?
