Re: lost access to a folder

Hi,
I had a quick look at the tool.
It looks like changing ownership needs "takeownership privilege". My current
situation is the domain adminisrator does not have any access to this
folder. As I mentioned, I even can't view acls using cacls command.
I may have missed some switch that allows me to seize the ownership.
Thanks again,

Hi,
for some unknown reason, domain administrator account failed to access a
particular folder, say e:\abc\def. "access denied" pops up when trying to
open this folder. When looking at the folder properties, the securities
tab does not appear. Using cacls e:\abc\def also got access denied error.
How can I fix this problem?
thanks in advance.


You can use fileacl.exe to seize ownership of this folder:
