I have a Server in a remte location, and on folder on that server has Files that are missing the Security and Custom Tab in the Properties of the files. If I try to 'replace permission entries ...' from the advanced security settings page, I get access denied.
Any thoughts?
Thanx

OK...Let me be more specific.... This is the Server not a wkstn we are talking about. Yes, it is NTFS. I am loggged on locally to that server as an admin.... One folder has files in it with Security Tab and the files in the next folder down at the same level of the Folder structure has no Security tab....
Igore
I have tried taking Ownership of it...Access denied. I have added the user that I am logged on as to the specific list of users (rather than counting on Group Membership... Granted that user full control, logged off and on again and tried replacing permissions and taking ownership again...Access Denied.
look into this...

I am about to leave this site for an hour or so. I will follow up once I return.
If you do not see the security tab on a folder it is because you do not have rights at that level to set the security. See if you can log on with the local admin account not a network admin account. If you can get in with the local admin account see if you can she the security tab on the folder in question. See if a group you belong to has been denied access at that level. Adjust security as necessary.
It doesn't matter that you are logged in as a Network Admin. You can be specifically denied access at any level. If you cannot see the security tab then you have been denied that right at that level. I still suggest trying to log into the system with the local admin account checking the rights of the folder in question.
The issue as I've seen it on W2K3 seems to come in mostly on folders that are accessed by Macintish computers, though that may just be a coincidence.
The only work around that I have found for this issue is to copy the contents of the folder to another, similarly-named folder and have the users access that in the future.
im experiencing exactly this problem
we have a file on a network share that cannot be accessed, copied, deleted nothing.
i cannot take ownership, i cannot force security to be copied onto the file.
ive tried cacls, but that just says access denied.
win 2003 server
NTFS partition
logged on as my admin account and tried the local server admin account as well.
all other shares and file security is ok, so its something to do with this file.
ive tried all solutions and thoughts in this thread but nothing worked

This 'is' on an NTFS volume, correct?
Have you tried using cacls?
For example, if the files are in C:\Folder
Start->Run->Cmd /k cacls c:\folder /e /t /g everyone:f
will add everyone with full control to the files/subfolders beneath C:\Folder
