fdc1000 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I have a win2008 r2 stand alone server, very basic file server, and for some reason all the file and folders permissions are messed up. I get Access Denied messages all the time and several programs can't get to their files any more. I know the problem is permission related but don't know the best way to restore them to a default state, if there is such a thing. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this sort of problem? Is there some utility that can tell me what's what when it comes to such issues. Finally, I get these problems even for users that are Administrators. Any help is very welcomed. Freddy. Quote

stpbby Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Cant you choose a high level folder and change the owner to whatever you want (domain admins) then set the permissions you want and have them propagate down to the sub-directories and objects. Quote
