I have just installed a Windows 2003 server.
When I copied all the shares from the old disk to the new system all folders and files are Read Only - and no matter what I do I cannot change this attribute (Tried with attrib from command prompt, but when doing so the folders/file look ok - no R on the folder/files). But when managing with Explorer the Read Only box is ticked, and even though I change it and can see the change is applied on all folders and files the read only reappears immediately.
Even when I (as administrator) try to create a new folder or file the folder/file is Read Only!
How do I get full access to the harddisk (Folders and files), so I can change the attribute? I have heard it is something MS has done to protect the system - and maybe it does, but it also makes administration a hell!
