Guest Erling Herstad Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Dear Sirs. I deleted a user in Our domain, but i cannot delete a folder under profiles. Running windows 2003 SP2 (DC), NTFS, the filesystem is running on Raid1, no encryption or compression. I've setup folder redirection, all profiles are stored in this share. I've run a complete chckdsk twice + no errors are present in HP Proliant log viewer. I see the security button, but i cannot take ownership as administrator or replace permissions. On the folder i cannot deleteor add entries, in addition they're non removable, i can only select VIEW (3 entries: unknown account, SYSTEM + everyone). However i can rename the folder. Only thing i havent tried is deleting the folder in safe mode. I've read other posts, but havent found a solution yet.

Thanks. Andrew.
Guest Erling Herstad Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Re: Cannot delete a folder - Windows 2003 Unfortunately i got a "no access" message. It's still weird that i can change the folder name, but not take ownership, change security settings etc. "Andrew Hodgson" wrote: > On Thu, 6 Mar 2008 05:44:04 -0800, Erling Herstad > <ErlingHerstad@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > >Dear Sirs. > > > >I deleted a user in Our domain, but i cannot delete a folder under profiles. > >Running windows 2003 SP2 (DC), NTFS, the filesystem is running on Raid1, no > >encryption or compression.
