If you are not typing this at the command line, and are trying to use this in a batch file, double up the % signs...

Run this at the command line (all one line) for /f "tokens=*" %i in ('dir /b \\server\users\*.') do subinacl /subdirectories \\server\users\%i\*.* /setowner=%i This will reset all the ownership to the username attached to the folder, for all files in all folders in \\server\users.

Somehow, this has stopped working for some of my users. The event log has the following: Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents. The new directories for the redirected folder could not be created. The folder is configured to be redirected to \\server\Users\%username%, the final expanded path was \\server\Users\dsmith. The following error occurred: This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object. The last line seems to tell all. The user is not the owner of the folder. So I Looked it up and sure enough, they are not the owner (administrators group is). But I don't see any way to change the owner. They have permissions and their Home drive is still mapping just fine. It is just the folder redirection. How do I change the owner? Or is there a better way to go about fixing this?
