I can apply ownership and security directly to each folder and file, butĬan't propagate rights from the root folder without getting 'Access Denied'.
Open, no previous security exists on the files as they were copied over the network to this location. After taking ownership you STILL get access denied. I am amazed that the answers to the questions regarding this problem have never been actually answered. So now I am faced with thousands on thousands (actually millions) of files that have to be individually accessed, ownership taken and then have basic security applied to them (This is applying full permissions to EVERYONE). I go to one of the folders which is saying 'Access Denied' when security is applied and try and do it individually. I try and change permissions again on the root folder: Access Denied. I run CMD as administrator and use takeown: SUCESS I run takeown on the files: Access Denied I launch explorer and 'Run As Administrator' logged in under the local administratior account and try and take ownership: Access Denied I then try and take ownership of the files and set permissions and am confronted with: I moved about a TB of files from one file server to another.
