I use icacls for this. But it's definitely a command line tool.
From: Ehren Benson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 3:43 PM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: RE: Find Files by owner I looked that up and it looks like that does not allow one to search for example an entire drive and receive results which contain ALL the files owned by a particular user or SID where the user is no longer in the system. And further allow one to manipulate those files in bulk (move them all elsewhere or delete them all etc) Any other options? Ehren J.

In the quota entries dialogue box some of the entries show up as listing only the users SID (meaning the user has been removed). I am pretty sure in the past that I knew of an easy way to right click on that entry and have a search window open up a listing of all files owned by that SID, from there they could be archived or removed depending on the circumstance. However I am finding it difficult to figure out what I could possibly have done. Doe anyone have any ideas? I know there are certain things you can do via CMD line but I'd prefer the GUI. I know what I did before was nice because it would find all files owned by that security principle no matter what folder they were in and I could easily drag and drop them to move them to some other folder after that persons account was removed. Any wisdom would be of help! Thanks Ehren J.
