It will allow the administrator to modify permissions. You may need to play with the syntax a bit to make it do what you want.
The other option (depending on number of folders involved) is to unselect the "inherit perms" check, and choose 'remove' when it asks you what to do with existing permissions. Then reselect the inherit box and see what the resulting permissions are. I've run into this before with ownership changes..

Thanks Damien...will xcacls work even with the user being the owner and having no permissions to the directory and the checkbox for allow directory to inherit perms from parent?

The command line tool of choice is 'xcacls' From: Chyka, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 2:34 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Tool to change Permissions.. I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find it in the archives. We have some old home directories that have only the user of that directory with permissions and ownership for their home directory. We want to add domain admins to have full control on those directories. Also the checkbox to inherit perms is checked on all of these. Could someone please tell me a good tool to do this. Can be either gui or command line. Thanks a lot... ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
