Folder ownership mess

[Guest /u/DZAUKER]

Hello,

 

I have to fix a mess created years ago by someone with folders ownership.

 

I found this:

 

• folders and subfolders with owner set to no more existing active directory accounts
  
• folders and subfolders with owner set to existing directoy accounts
  
• folders and subfolders with owner set to local admin not part of local administrators group
  
• folders and subfolders with no authenticated users / system / local admin in the permission entries
  
• folders and subfolders with a mix of domain users, domain groups and unknow SID's
  

 

Every time a change is needed it's a real pain.

 

I cannot change the onwership because this will destroy completely the permission entries because the user I log in is not in the list in the folder, I test also with the TAKEOWN command but the result is the same.

 

Do you have any hints to fix this mess ?

 

The server is a file server with 2.8tb of data :\
