Re: take ownership and reset perms

Thanks, im aware of how to take ownership via about 10 clicks, but i would
rather not do this for 200 folders, im looking for a command line tool that
will allow me to do this so i can just script it.

Thanks
Justin

i have a bunch of folders that need to be taken over and perms reset.
(basically roaming profile security, user has access but the admin doesnt
and i need the admin to)

I know once upon a time there was a script that used cacls to do this but
i cant find it and im not having much luck with it.

I have downloaded xcacls and have tried to do xcacls c:\folder /g
administrators:OF /e

its giving me an access denied which doesnt make sense, i obviously dont
have access, thats why im using the O security modifier..

any thoughts?

Thanks


You need to seize ownership of these folders. Click
Start / Help and look for "ownership" if unsure how
to do this.
