One of my customers has a directory filled with home directories of all students.
Due to some copying, the ownership of all files was set to “administrator”.
Since quota was enabled, quota usage of all students was practically 0.
They needed a fix to set ownership back a.s.a.p.
I created the following batchfile. You need the subinacl utility from microsoft though.
- Put the script in the directory you want to make the changes for.
- Usernames must match the directorynames.
@echo off
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /ad') do subinacl /file %%a\*.* /setowner=%%a
pause
Maybe you want to grant the users (just to be sure)
@echo off
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /ad') do subinacl /file %%a\*.* /setowner=%%a
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /ad') do subinacl /file %%a\*.* /grant=YOURDOMAIN\%%a
pause
