I’ve come across this issue many times before and don’t really have an easy way 
to resolve.

System has two hard disks – a C drive and a D drive.

D has all the data, C is the OS and page.

C drive goes bad, so it is replaced, OS is reinstalled clean (Windows 10 
Enterprise)

After taking ownership of the D drive and everything below it, there are still 
lots of folders that won’t open or allow reads or writes.

Even though effective permissions says I have full access to folders – I 
receive permission denied errors and can’t seem to figure out how to get the 
access back.

Permissions on D are for previous OS – so there are a lot of GUID users in 
there with no user names.

Is there an easy script I can run (cmd or bat) that will delete all the 
permissions on the D drive and reset the ownership of every object?  The GUI 
doesn’t seem to work properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
