"Access denied" on Windows Server files locally
After modifiying some permissions on a Windows Server 2003, i have problems accessing subfolders of "D:\DIR\" from the local console. In my example I use YYYYY as one of the erroneous directories.
ROBIN\Administrateur and BUILTIN\Administrators are all defined as OWNERS in each of the directories, but I get an "Access is denied"-error when accessing "D:\DIR\YYYYY" with any Account, even the Administrator accounts.
So I opened the properties->Security tab of the foler and I get the error: "You do not have permission to view or edit the current permission settings for YYYYY, but you can take ownership or change auditing settings."
So I checked what it says, I opened the "Advanced security settings" and checked the "Owner" tab. My current user was listed, but I can't change permissions for the YYYYY directory. (I've tried with local admin and domain admin.)
Summary of the current permissions:
cacls D:\DIR\working_apl
ROBIN\Administrateur:(OI)(
BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI
ROBIN\Compta:(OI)(CI)F
cacls D:\DIR\XXXXX
ROBIN\Administrateur:(OI)(
BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI
ROBIN\Compta:(OI)(CI)F
cacls D:\DIR\YYYYY
Access is denied.

Ok, I just added the group "compta" and checked "Replaced owner on subcontainers...", I now get some "Access denied" errors.

Randy_Bojangles: "Take ownership of the YYYYY directory and make sure that you tick the box to propogate changes to subfolders and files"
Which is perfectly correct, I just want to add the following command:
I thought all listed users would be "Owners", which is NOT correct!
I had to select exactly one from the list and everything was ok.
Thanks Randy_Bojangles!
