Hi,

I used the KB article #319974 to create a custom default
user profile (template) for all the users that will log
on to the computer. Before running Sysprep on the master
computer.

I installed all the software with a local computer
account that is member of the local administrators group
and then customized that profile.

The problem is that when you create a file under Windows
XP Pro, the creator owner has full control over that
file. After copying the customized profile
under "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User", I delete
the computer account under which I created the base
installation. Then all the files/directories created with
that account when I installed a program appears with
unassociated SID in security properties.

Is it safe to reset the ownership of all the files on C:
to the local group Administrators to avoid possible
security problems ???

You can reply to me directly : (e-mail address removed)

Thanks for you help.

PS Sorry for my bad english :(
