Re: Create a domain account with full access to all files and folders?

You need to take over ownership as domain admin and push out allow
inheritable permisions to all subfolders. Security Explorer does a
great job of this.

Hi all,

We are starting a document retention project. As part of this project,
we need to index all data on all file servers. The indexing program
runs under a domain account.

How do I create the account in such a way that it has full access to
every file and folder in the domain? (I've explained the security
implications to mgmt)

I tried it as both a "domain administrator" and "backup operator" but
neither account was able to access everything. Is there another way to
go about it?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Cheers!
