OK, I am working on Server 2003 SP1 at a school with over a 100 kids.
I have sucessfully redirected their My Documents to point to their
directory on the server. I needed to take ownership of their \Profiles
in order to move their files to the new \User area.

Now, I think I need to remove Administrator as their profile owner and
return ownership to each individual student--right? Is there a
procedure that I can apply at the \Profiles folder and the \Users
folder that will run through each student and remove the Administrator
and replace it with their login name?

Thanx, Jim in Florida

There probably is something trimmed to your spec out there,
but I cannot say. However, if you can form the driver (i.e.
this dir therefore that username) then you could use xcacls.vbs,
or subinacl, (both from microsoft.com/downloads) or fileacl
(goole for it) to do the actual setting of owner.

In the future, a way to avoid this is to use ntbackup to back all
up to a file and then restore with permissions to the new location.

I forgot to mention SetACL (from SourceForge) which has
for many people a more difficult syntax but which can be
used to set owner.
