Windows 10: "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object", when trying to create...

Hi,


I, and a couple of other members in our IT Team who are in the "Domain Administrators" group in active directory have been trying unsuccessfully to create a new GPO in the GPMC.


Delegation is set to allow Domain Admins to create a new GPO, but whenever we try, we're met with the message above; "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object".


I've also tried to create a GPO using the default "Administrator" account on the Domain - unfortunately to no avail.


I've searched through multiple forums already, and have yet to find a solution.


Any help with this issue is thoroughly appreciated.


Thanks,

Harvey

Another "failed to enumerate objects in the container" problem.

I am trying to do the same thing as Dev1anc3 and had a go at Isha Soni's instructions.

At step 3 I typed

C:\WINDOWS\system32> takeown /f \\WDCLOUD\Public /r /d y

and get the response

ERROR: This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object.

Please can you tell me why that is and what I can do about it?

 

Robocopy syntax doesn't work in my batch file anymore

It seems that the destination file permissions cannot be set by your account.

I would suggest two options:
1. Check this: This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object. or
2. Add the /B switch (to run in Backup mode)

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response.

This could have been a permission issue. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

• 
  Right click on the file.
  
• 
  Click on “Properties” on the right click menu.
  
• 
  Click on “Security” tab.
  
• 
  Click on “Advanced” button at the bottom.
  
• 
  In Advanced Security Dialog window, click on “Owner” tab.
  
• 
  Here you will be able to see current owner (i.e. Trusted Installer).
  
• 
  To take ownership of the object, click on the Edit button. Give permission to UAC. Then highlight the user name in the “Change owner to” box that you want to assign as the owner for the object. Click “OK” to finish the process.
  
• 
  Back in Advanced Security Settings window, you will see the current owner has changed to the user you just selected.
  
• 
  Click “OK” button to exit this window.
  
• 
  Click “OK” again to exit completely from the Properties window.
  
• 
  Repeat step 1 to 4 to open the object’s Properties window again.
  
• 
  Back in object’s Properties window, click on Edit button, and confirm the UAC elevation request.
  
• 
  Highlight the Administrators in the “Group or user names” box. If the user ID or group that you want to manage the permissions for the object doesn’t exist, click on “Add” button, and type in the user name or group name desired into
  the “Enter object names to select (Can use Everyone as user Name)” box, and finish off by clicking on “OK”.
  
• 
  In the Permissions for Administrators box below (or any other user name or group name you chose), click on “Full Control” under the “Allow” column to assign full access rights control permissions to Administrators group.
  

Hope this helps.
