Taking ownership of files best practice and need help

hi,

i've done robocopy file repository located in domain our own domain file share.

acl has been copied each file , folders, , not have access files or folders because sid unknown (untrusted domain).

ok, decide take ownership of directories , files , renew ntfs permissions our domain accounts, have problem :

when try take ownership of directories recursively lot of files in "access denied". dozens of files have cancel ! or i'm doomed click 100000 times on mouse on "ignore".

i've tried take ownership "system" account or "domain admins" group still "access denied" pop files.

is there best practice or command can use take ownership of files , folder "force" ? mean, why file system denying if i'm super mega admin ? there hidden account i'm not aware of ? :) joking. maybe not best practice ?

any welcome, !

hi,

i'm thinking if french characters cause.

in test:

c:\users\shaon>takeown /f d:\aaébb

success: file (or folder): "d:\aaébb" owned user "domain\shaon".

i not have french language package installed successful.

i think here 2 possiable causes of failure:

1. have "spaces" in folder names. try add "" in path or cmd not recognize these folder path.
2. long path seems on 255 charactors limitation. try reduce length of folder path, , test take ownership of parent folder instead.
