Rgaining ownership of a directory 1

[flw]

Win 2003 R2 domain server

I screwed up and left a new (but empty) directory without a owner by removing the everyone group and inherited permissions turned off.

Now even logged on to the server as domain admin I cannot remove or alter the properties of the directory.

How can I either delete the directory or gain ownership to correct my screwup?

Thanks for any helpful tips

Thank you very much.

This leads me to my issue so dont repeat my errors.

After creating a group with users in it and assigning that group rights to a directory, since the everyone group is there, how do I keep non-grp members from seeing or reading directory contents?

i.e. the safe way to keep "Everybody" from viewing sub dir's etc...

Remove the Everyone group from the share.
