Lost permissions

[Guest]

Hey all. Big problem here...on a file server, there's a file that nobody can
access...even the administrators. When right clicking on the file I can only
see the general tab...no security. I cannot rename,delete,copy the file. The
file is on a Windows 2000 server, DC. I think someone removed all permissions
on the file. Can it be possible ? If so how can I retrieve ownership ? I
tried with several command line tools to retrieve ownership but with no
success.

Can someone help me ?

Download SubInACL from tip 8530 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

subinacl /subdirectories "FQFN" /setowner="Username"
FQFN is filly qualified file name
Username is "DomainName\UserName"

Hi Jerold ! Thx for your reply. My problem is now solved. I don't know why
but yesterday night when I came back to check this problem the file was
gone...it's very weird.
