With the correct syntax it works but fails on the directories I need access to.

Appeared to work but then you couldn't do something you expected to be able to do? Note, after you've taken ownership you still have to apply permissions so you can access the files.

Sometimes a brute-force combo of subinacl and cacls is the only way to bang them into submission. 2010/1/14 N Parr <[email protected]> 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]> 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?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
