Win7 PC in 2008 R2 domain won't let me access Previous user files
copying desktops from old domain to new domain.
we moved a PC from one domain to another & it won't let me access the files from the previous domain on the PC. I get challenged for new domain Admin account but it doesn't seem to take.
ON the PC under USERS:
username - files from 2003 domain
corp/username - current files for user
1st PC went as expected & copied files with minimal hassle.
One PC is not letting me access files from the previous domain even with the new domain administrator. 1st PC worked fine but not the 2nd. I may have to open another question for that.

Go to the folder, right click, go to properties, security, advanced, owner and change the owner to the current user account, then click Apply, then go to Permissions, click change permissions, add, and set the current user to have full permissions, check the box to replicate all child ojbect permissions with inheritable permsissions from this object, click apply, then ok, ok, ok and try again.

Thanks, I don't think I had access to that tab but I will look again. So far, I have tried logging on PCs with domain Admin & had little problem transferring files but have not revisited problem PC

I haven't tried the takeown but I got the files copied over by logging in with domain "Administrator" account. When I tried to access the security tab I got the same prompt loop as I got by just double clicking the folder.
"Enter Admin account"
Looks like the problem machine works better using a Domain Admin account with the full path:
domain\username
Still having issues connecting via RDP. Not sure if that's related.
