Is there a utility in or for windows 2008 r2 to change ownership on a folder including subs and files?
I have a 2008 R2 64 bit server. Some how in the share folder "general" files and folders has lostownership permissions .
Ex, shows ownership on file to be S-1-22-1-0
Maybe the owner was deleted from AD.
I know how to fix the problem manually but have to do this for each file/folder.
Is there a utility in Windows 2008 r2 like "chown" for linux that will allow me to change ownership of ALL the files and folders in \general ( \general\*.* /s ) ?
Also, what is the Proceedure?

No oBdA:Should work just as well as in W2k3; just do NOT use the subinacl.exe version from the W2k3 Resource Kit (show version 4.something); this version is buggy and won't do anything useful.

The subinacl download is exactly the same for W2k3/W2k8 in "Method 2: Reset permissions on the system using the SubInACL.exe tool" in this article, for example:

More research on my part lead to a solution, but this lead me in the right direction.

I was looking at the subinacl command too, but also didnt know it would work on a 2008 r2 server.
I was hoping for more responses from the community.
