Hi, There is a root folder that contains all the users Terminal Server Profiles. There are 3 domain administrators in the domain admins group, which is placed in the local administrator group on the file server. 2 of us can take ownership of the folders mentioned above, however one person cannot, they get a message saying you do not having permissions. Any idea's?

Try; Explorer|"folder"|File|Properties|Security|Advanced|Effective Permissions Selecting the different users here should show you any differences. Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Same for everyone, Windows cannot calculate the effective permissions. I got the admin who is having the problem, to take ownership by selecting the "administrators" group instead of the admin's own account, and that worked. Any reason why that would be different for this one admin, where as the rest of us can take ownership by selecting our own accounts?

Might be they're members of other groups. When a user has contradictory permissions, Windows NT always uses the most restrictive permission. Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

I've doubled checked their admin account against mine, and it's definitely in the same groups. Fun, fun, fun! :-)

These ones may help. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773004(WS.10).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb664922 Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Hi, I would run the following commands to take owner of the file and assign Administrators group full control permissions. takeown /f {file location} cacls {file location} /G administrators:F What’s the result?
