Using Subinacl changing ownership

[Guest]

I am trying to change the ownership of some folders on a
windows 2000 file server using the 'subinacl' command but
when I am trying to do this I am getting no error
message's back but it is not completing the task.

All I am getting is the below:-

Elapsed Time: 00 00:00:00
Done: 0, Modified 0, Failed 0,
Syntax errors 0

I am doing this so I can use the 'disk quota' to restrict
the space users have on there personal drives/folders.

Could anyone point me in the right direction or if you
have any other ways of doing this it would be very much
appreciated.

Regards,
Dave

I don't think you really have to as I believe as users add files to the
folder, they will be the owner of the files. Anyhow as far as subinacl, it
can be a bit tricky to learn the syntax and be real careful as it is real
powerful, though there is a test mode. Be sure to make a full backup if you
have not done so already.

You can also use subinacl to find owners such as "subinacl /file c:\
/findsid=user" or "subinacl /subdirectories c:\ /finsid=user" using
subdirectories will yield a lot more results than file. You can also use
find and then change ownership for that user such as "subinacl
/subdirectories c:\userfolder /findsid=administrators /setowner=user" or
just use "subinacl /subdirectories c:\userfolder /setowner=user" . The
following link may help also as an example. The second link is for a new
tool from MS I have not even tried yet fileacl - just came accross it. The
part about "manipualting inheritance" sounds interesting. --- Steve
