Guest Justin Rich Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 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

Click Start / Help and look for "ownership" if unsure how to do this.
Guest Johan Strange Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 RE: take ownership and reset perms This is the default behaviour for RUPs perms. You can alter this using a GPO Computer Settings / Administrative Templates / System / User Profiles / Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles. Look at the policy explain tab. If you alter the permissions you may stop the profile working. Take ownership of the files first and then you will be able to reset the perms without error. -- Johan Strange _______________________________ MCSE, MCSA + Messaging, CompA+ Logic42 Computer Solutions - The answer to everything "Justin Rich" wrote: > 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 > > >
Guest Justin Rich Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Re: take ownership and reset perms Sorry, when i said "basically roaming profiles" what i meant to say is, they are roaming profiles for an application we use, not AD.. so a policy wont effect them.. i have to script this one.

Guest Justin Rich Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 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.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Re: take ownership and reset perms I see. If you had mentioned "Command Line Tools" in your original post then I would have suggested subinacl.exe (if you can wrap your mind around its syntax) or fileacl.exe (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=723f64ea-34f0-4e6d-9a72-004d35de4e64&displaylang=en).
