change file/folder ownership Sunday, December 21, 2008 at 12:22 am Windows Server 2003 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Aun (111 messages posted) I have a storage server on my domain running win 2003. Recently something went wrong and now i cant access any files or folders in one of its partitions. Everytime i try to open these files or folders i get an error "access denied". Somehow i dont have ownership of anything in this drive anymore. Is there any way i can take ownership of a whole folder including the subfolders and all the files within it without going through each file and manually doing it? Ive been looking at the "chmod" command but cant understand how it works. Im logged in using the domain admin account so i have all the permissions necessary i guess. Can someone give me an example how ill go about using command? or is there another simple way?
