Reset NTFS directory permissions?

[Jordy]

I am in the midst of recovering from a huge crash. My
only option was to create a new Active Directory. But my
problem now is that on one of my servers there is a
directory where no available user, either on the new
domain or locally, have any rights. I cannot change the
permissions as I get an "access denied" error. Is there
a tool or way to change the security or are the files now
lost?

You might try from a parallel install.

have you tried taking ownership if the directory? then use cacls to replace
the permissions. this has worked for me in the past.
