Windows 10: icacls problem

Hi

I have Windows 10 v1511 Enterprise 64 bit.

I noticed that the icacls "<Home_directory_path>" /inheritance:e /Q /T /C /L command, applied to the home directory of a directory structure, is run only the first level of the structure. Why?

How do I run it automatically in all the levels below?
I also noticed that if I write the icacls "<Home_directory_path>" /reset /Q /T /C /L command, it goes in a loop. Why? What should I write in order to avoid this?

Thanks

Bye

When I try to save, copy, or create a new file in my D & C Drive both I am getting this error Error 0x80070522 Arequired Privilege is not held bt the Client

Type this in command prompt:

icacls d:\

and

icacls c:\

What does it show?

 

Global Change File Permissions AND Users in One Folder?

Matt,

Try this:

icacls D:\Wav_Songs\*.wav /remove "NULL SID" /T

icacls D:\Wav_Songs\*.wav /remove None /T

.

That will get rid of those bogus users.

.

icacls D:\Wav_Songs\*.wav /grant mattOI)(CI)F /T

icacls D:\Wav_Songs\*.wav /grant AdministratorsOI)(CI)F /T

icacls D:\Wav_Songs\*.wav /grant SYSTEMOI)(CI)F /T

icacls D:\Wav_Songs\*.wav /grant UsersOI)(CI)F /T

.

These will give full permissions to the specified users (see also note below).

.

takeown /R /F *.wav

takeown /R /F *.WAV

.

Take ownership of the files.

.

icacls * /T /grant matt:F
.

Do this when/because the above command did not work.

 

Apparently, the commands

Code: takeown /F "<Home_directory_path>" /A /R /D S /SKIPSL icacls "<Home_directory_path>" /reset icacls "<Home_directory_path>" /reset /Q /C /T /L pushd "<Home_directory_path>" && ( rd /S /Q "<Home_directory_path>" 2>nul & popd )[/quote] reach my goal but the third command goes in loop and, to stop it, I have to press Ctrl+C. Why?

How do I do that the third command does not go in loop?

Thanks

I think I found the best solution to remove a directory structure which also contains symbolic links and with ACLs managed by TrustedInstaller or Authenticated Users or System users:

Code: takeown /F "<Directory_path>" /A /R /D Y /SKIPSL >nul 2>&1 icacls "<Directory_path>" /reset icacls "<Directory_path>" /grant:r AdministratorsOI)(CI)F /inheritance:e /Q /C /T /L >nul 2>&1 pushd "<Directory_path>" && ( rd /S /Q "<Directory_path>" 2>nul & popd )[/quote] Thanks
