Take ownership of folders in Win2008 via command line?
in [Windows Servers]
|
From: Whiteford on 4 May 2010 03:43 Hi, I need to take ownership of a huge folder on our Windows 2008 server. I have restored 1TB of data but the GUI tool keeps prompting for me to skip etc. Can I use a command line tool to five the system account full ownership of all files? Thanks

If this command does not exist under Win2008 then you can probably copy it across from a Win7 PC.
From: Whiteford on 4 May 2010 05:32 Thanks it does have this tool! However when I use it I get the error "info: the current logged on user does not have ownership privileges on the file (or folder): ("f:\folderername") and INFO: Access is denied. ( "f:\foldername" ) Shouldn't this tool take control?

From: Whiteford on 4 May 2010 05:45 It seemed to work on this folder if I added the "system" account via the GUI first then run the takeown tool, how can I then add the "system" account to all folders and directories first via the command line then take ownership?

From: Pegasus [MVP] on 4 May 2010 05:54 The trusty old cacls command will do it: cacls "d:\User Files" /e /t /c /g system:f On Windows 7, cacls still works but is deprecated. icacls.exe should be used instead.
