  1. ICACLS permissions to make a folder and it's contents unchangeable?


    We have a document management system on a Windows Server 2019 system NTFS filesystem that holds many PDF documents. The DM is organized by subject customer name, vendor name, etc. with sub-folders for each individual year as in the following example:\\SRV-DOCUMENTS\DM\Vendors\Contoso: + 2019+ 2020+ 2021New documents are added to the current year sub-folders.

    As found in this ServerFault answer, try with the following steps to change ownership and permission on many files and folders in one batch from command line:

    • Open a Command Prompt "As Administrator"
    • Run the following commands:

    Help!! Can not delete folder

    Code: ICACLS D:\anime /remove:d username /C ICACLS D:\anime /grant username:F /C erase D:\anime[/quote] It's been years since I touched access lists but the above should work from either your own username or as administrator. If not, you can start in safe mode and modify the folder ownership.
