<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have roaming profiles which I need to delete. &nbsp;By default these are created automatically when a user logs in and the user is the only one who can access them without manually taking ownership. &nbsp;I have lots of these, regularly. &nbsp;The below code is what I'm using, but it does not propagate to all folders under the root on one pass. &nbsp;It will make me owner of the root folder on the first run, then individual folders on the second run and so on until I am finally owner of everything, might take 8-10 runs before I can actually delete the root user folder. <br />
<br />
When manually taking ownership, there is a check box &quot;Replace owner on subcontainers and objects&quot;, how do I do this with powershell.<br />
Here is the code I've been using:<br />
<br />
takeown /f $folder /R /D y<br />
ICACLS $Folder /grant &quot;$user:(CI)F&quot; /T <br />
Remove-Item $folder -Recurse -Force

Folder Permissions and Powershell

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework.
