Taking ownership with xcacls.exe

[Todd]

I'm trying to usc xcacls to take ownership of a
directory. I am logging in with a Domain Admin user
account and then running the following at the command
line. ("Larryp" is the name of the folder I am trying to
take ownership of)

c:\>xcacls c:\Larryp /G (e-mail address removed):O;O /C /E

The response I get is:

processed directory c:\Larryp

Then when I right click the folder and choose properties
to check if I now have ownership, I don't. Any thoughts?

Hi

As far as I know, xcacls isn't able to take ownership of files/folders.

SUBINACL in the Win2k Resource kit looks like is able to do this:

subinacl /noverbose /file \\server\share\dir /setowner=whoever
subinacl /noverbose /subdirectories \\server\share\dir\* /setowner=whoever


If you don't have the Win2k RK, the subinacl.exe in the Windows Server 2003 RK
(free) will maybe work on Win2k as well.

You syantax is wrong. Try this

c:\>xcacls c:\Larryp /G (e-mail address removed):O;O /C /E
