I had thought about doing that, however the volume is a RAID-5. Can't you cause problems if you run chkdsk in write mode on a RAID array?<br />

I've never heard of an issue like that. &nbsp;It will probably require a reboot though.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a file on my 2003 Server that I seem to have lost all access to whatsoever. Neither the domain admin or local admin account on the server can even see the security tab, nor take ownership of the file.<br />
<br />
Any operation delete/rename/take ownership will result in an access denied message.<br />
<br />
Any idea how I can reset the permissons and/or fix this file? I've never faced an access issue with a file that I couldn't just take ownership on.<br />

Completely locked out of a file

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
