powershell script to switch ownership of the files.

Hello,
Could you please recommend powershell script to switch ownership of the files.
For example from user@Source.com to the user@TARGET.com

Our users were re-created from scratch in the target forest, so we need to have a script to change ownerships of files from source users to target users.
We have a different naming convention in the target for users, so the script would need to read the input excel file where I have listed the directories and new owners for the files.

Is it possible? Please help. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! I checked subinacl and it is a great tool indeed but not very user friendly.
What would be a command use input excel file with current owners and directories that I need to change ownerships for?

hello,
Solution is just to do a batch file and run line by line like this. It is easier just to copy and paste from excel all the shares and save it as the batch file.

subinacl /file test.txt /setowner=domain\foo
subinacl /file test.txt /setowner=domain\foo
subinacl /file test.txt /setowner=domain\foo
