Hi all,

some days ago I asked about changing ownership and permission of files,
after moving an HD on a different client.
I was suggested to change the owner of the file(s) to administrator, then
re-open properties and edit permission for administrator.
It works fine (thanks folks) but I'd like to do this for many folders and
subfolders at once. It seems not working. It seems when different file types
are included, the multiple selection do not work for changing ownership.
To change permission for all files and folders on the HD it'd become
extremely time consuming.

Can anybody suggest a better way, if exists?


Thank you

See tip 3528 » How do I set ownership and manage permissions from the command line or in a batch?

In your previous thread Jim Howes recommended that you
use subinacl.exe to seize ownership of a folder and all its
subfolders. The answer is still the same. If this does not
work for you then you should post
a) the command you use, and
b) the messages you get.

The same goes when you use the GUI, as suggested by
John John.

Jerold,

I installed subinacl, but running the command
subinacl /subdirectories <FolderPath>\*.* /setowner=<DomainName\UserName>
it says:
'subinacl' is not recognized as an internal or external command

cacls is recognized instead.

thanks

If it's not installed in your path then use something like;

C:\FullPathToFile\subinacl ..............

Where exactly did you copy subinacl.exe to?

Where did you put SubInACL.exe? If it's the Resource Kit folder make
sure that the folder is in the Environment PATH Variables or stick
SubInACL.exe in the System32 folder. Or run it from where it is.

Ok now I am running it from the installation folder.
I get
Error 1337, the security ID structure is invalid.

In my Path I have long folder names, e.g.: Documents and settings,
while in the error message it appears just as "documents"
May it be the root of the error?

Let's have a look at the command you use.

subinacl /subdirectories e:\documents and settings\mysubdir1\mysubdir2\*.*
/setowner=PPP\Administrators

I get:

LookupAccountName : setowner e:\documents : PPP\administrators : 1337 The
security ID structure is invalid

Current object e:\documents will not be processed
