I'm running a batch command to take ownership of a set of user folders and I'm finding that the ownership is not being pushed down to hidden files, such as ~normal.dot I'm using the following command: takeown /R /A /D Y /F D:\folderpath\username
I don't see errors in the output, but when I try to robocopy that directory, I get access denied on such files. I find that I have to manually go to file properties > Security > Advanced > Edit (server 2008) > Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inhabitable permissions from this object. Is there a way to make sure that I can move the folder after I've taken ownership of it?
Answer
Sounds like you took ownership with Takeown, but didn't give yourself read/write permissions (which is why you had to edit them via the GUI afterwards).
To do that from the command line you'd use icacls
after using takeown
.
Something to the effect of icacls
.
