I am trying to assign file ownership to users in their user directories. Currently the administrator owns all files in these directories. I am trying to use the Posix Chown command. I am having trouble with the syntax. Does anyone know how to use it, or have a better way to accomplish this?
Thanks
 
I use subinacl.exe which is part of the Windows 2000 resource kit. The syntax for this is basically:

subinacl.exe /subdirec FolderPath\*.* /setowner=Domain\user
 
Thanks so much! This worked like a champ - we wrote a script that incorporated the command to change all the users permissions. Really GREAT advice!!
