Hi, I was wondering if it is possible via policy or a script to configure the Owner of a newly created directory to be a particular group/person? By default it is the person who created the folder (unless you are a member of Administrators and then it is the Administrators group unless the policy has been changed). I require a different group to automatically become the Owner whenever a new folder is created. Thankyou, Kummaz

I don't think there is a script to do a such thing. Instead, this is a link to show you to change the owner of a folder. It is easy to do it manually.

Hello, check out SUBINACL: subinacl /noverbose /file \\servername\sharename\dir /setowner=newowner subinacl /noverbose /subdirectories \\servername\sharename\dir\* /setowner=newowner http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=enBest regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

The 2 commands provided by Meinolf can help change the ownership of the folder \\servername\sharename\dir and its subfolders. However please understand that the owner of new created subfolders will still be the creator, so you will need to run the second command everytime a new subfolder created.Shaon Shan| TechNet Subscriber Support in forum| If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com
