I have it running now. I was trying to run it from a batch file. When I typed
it in directly it worked.
Will this reset owners on the folder and the files or just the files?
Thanks for your help!
Greg

D'oh... I just realized that the error was in the "For" section, rather then
in the SubInACL section.
Does your server name or share have a space in it?
I just tried this on my machine:
for /f "tokens=*" %i in ('dir /b \\Server\personal\*.') do echo %i
And got a list of usernames.
Did you leave off the /b by mistake?

I finally got around to giving this a try but I get the following:
\users\*.*') was unexpected at this time
anyone have any idea why that would happen and what I can do to correct it?

Resource Kit Tool: subinacl.exe
It will allow you to substitute ownership.
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.

I use GPO to redirect my user's "My Documents" folder to their home drive
which for my users is \\server\Users\%username%
Works pretty well and has been for a while.
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?
