I hate when you are forced to give Full Control to folder to someone because they are a Very Important Person, and then they go in and take ownership and then remove all other users from any sort of access (to include Administrators), and then they go away or die or something and NO ONE can get into the folder ever again.
And then you get a ticket asking you to restore access to the folder.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Such situation must be covered by life insurance.

Not sure how you insure a file share? :P

Backups?

I am sure this is possible. Google search "insure everything" gives a lot of interesting options. I am afraid to post any link from this list, it may be marked as spam

As the administrator you can always take ownership of subfolders and then you can change the access
|
|
|
|
|
Not true. When I try to take ownership it says I don't have permission. I don't even have permission to see who is the current owner. Yay, Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
Do you have ownership of the parent folder?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I had ownership of the parent, and everything was supposed to propagate down....and it still didn't work.
One of the Microsoft guys here found a page with a fix that worked. (This wasn't just a drive sitting in a box...it was a DFS share out on NetApp. I probably should have mentioned that earlier.)
https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-Storage-Protocols-Discussions/Unable-to-take-ownership-of-a-folder-on-a-CIFS-share/td-p/124881
|
|
|
|
|
Well, that explains it.
Must be a pretty old box if it still uses CIFS.
|
|
|
|
|
Put the drive as a slave in another machine (in other words, don't boot from it), and disconnected from any LAN and not part of any domain. The user SID won't be recognized as a local or domain user. You might have a better chance of resetting ownership under that scenario.

Well I do, anyway.

I fight giving the pointy hairs access to more than a user level account and a paperclip for rebooting their stupid mac.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

That's your clue. If you no longer own it, you're no longer responsible, end of story.

Just run a file manager with runassystem[^] on the file server, and assign the privileges you need.
