You can first take ownership and reset the permissioning and after doing that you can give away the ownership the same way like taking ownership! To give away ownership to someone else you need full control permissions AND the user right "restore files and directories" on the particular server

The directories are created and redirected by GPO; the security specified as in Microsoft KB 274443. The owner of this directory also has a separate administrator account. He used his admin rights to get into console on the file server, take ownership of his standard account home directory, and then change some files. Now his offline file synchronization is all screwed up. I would like to reset the permissions on his home directory/My Documents so that his standard account is the owner and has full and exclusive rights. However, I can't reset the permissions without taking ownership myself. I seem to be caught in a chicken-and-egg situation. And, yes, the user is the Executive Director of this organization. Any suggestions appreciated. -- nme This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
