I have a problem in which I am moving data from one file server to the next (using xcopy) and some of the folders have had permissions changed on them. To be more specific, I need to change the permissions to move the folders using xcopy. I need to view the ownership of the folders before I take ownership of them (production server) to move them. I know how to take ownership, but when clicking on the security tab, I get the 'You do not have permission to view or edit the current permission settings for <folder> but you can take ownership or change auditing settings'

Is there any way I can determine who has ownership of the file/folder
before I take ownership?

TIA
 
Could try subinacl?

subinacl /file filename /display=owner

subinacl /subdirectories foldername /display=owner

Kinda interesting, always thought that setting ownership was not possible for security reasons, only taking ownership. Guess I never tried before.

subinacl /file filename /setowner=domain\username

subinacl /subdirectories foldername /setowner=domain\username
