There is no chown that I know, ownership could not be delegated, It must be
taken. You could gave one user the "Take Ownership" permission and then the
user must take ownership of that file.

xcacls.exe from the Win2000 Resource Kit lets you take ownership
of files & folders.
 
I want to change the owner of folder/files, to control disk quota. All users
are only members of DOMAIN USER group. I heard about chown.exe, but I can't
find it. How can I get it?
Thanks,
Gustavo
 
setacls is another tool. Check jsiinc.com tips for more info. Note that
you can examine file and directory owners using "dir *.* /q" .
