2000 server security

[Guest]

I have a folder on my win 2000 server that says I do not have permission to
view the files or folders, but I am an admistrator. I also logged into the
server as the administrator, but it still will not let me view the data. Can
somebody help me with this?

Hi Chris.

You probably do not have permissions to the folder and need to first take
ownership and then grant yourself permission to the folder under
properties/security where you want full control as administrators.. After
that you should be able to access the folders assuming the issue does not
involve that they are encrypted with EFS as shown in properties/advanced for
the folder. When taking ownership be sure to select "replace owner on
subcontainers". To take ownership go to the parent folder's
properties -security/advanced - owner and select change owner to and select
administrators.

I tried to take ownership, but it still tells me the same thing.

Double check that you are logged onto the server as an administrator. You
can run the command net local administrators to see the group membership
[though you could be nested in a group in that group]. I don't know if your
server is a domain controller or not. If it is not a domain controller open
Local Security Policy [secpol.msc] and go to local policies - user rights
and make sure that for the user right for "take ownership of files or other
objects" that the administrators group is included and if not add it and
reboot the server. If it is a server that is part of an Active Directory
domain make sure that the effective settings for that user right shows
administrators after a reboot and if not the appropriate Group Policy that
is applying that setting will need to be modified. For a domain controller
go to Domain Controller Security Policy to verify that administrators is
included in the user right for "take ownership of files or other objects" .
