Not sure why, but I have gotten to users files on remote vista computer if I was domain admin or logged into the computer as local computer admin. I have not had to try to hook that drive up to a local computer and try to access them. I do get told I do not have access but am asked if I still want to access them. I just choose yes and it lets me have the access. ________________________________ From: N Parr [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 8:07 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Taking ownership of User Dir on vista hard drive
not yet, tried the takeown utility in vista and it didn't work. I can get in the the user folder but there are sub folders like my docs that it won't give me access to. ________________________________ From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 2:41 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Taking ownership of User Dir on vista hard drive Have you tried using subinacl? 2010/1/13 N Parr <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> I've never had issues with this before but this one has me stumped. I have a drive out of a users vista pc that died. In the past I've been able to take ownership of the users or Doc/settings dir and get the files copied off but for some reason this one won't let me. I can try to take ownership but it won't do it. Tried on an XP and Vista machine. Google is failing me, any ideas? -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
