I can't get this to work...
Had a fileserver fail a disk in a raid, fixed it and all files are now
transferred back from backup. All files are owned by Administrator which kinda'
messes up the quotas.
So, I found this tool, called chown and it works well, only I have some 120ish
homefolders I need to change the owner on.
I figured I could do a for in batch-loop and I can't make it work. What I've
done so far:
* created a simple text file, users.txy, with all the folders I want changed.
All folders have the same name as the user in question.
* on a command line I typed "for %A in users.txt do chown -v -q %A %A" and ran
it. Got an error "users.txt was unexpected at this time".
Ie for folder User1 use CLI-tool chown to change the folder User1 to be
owned
by User1 and do it quietly and verbosely in case a fatal error happens.
What gives? I do believe I've done this before. Did I mix up the order on the
command line?
TIA.
