I'll certainly be happy to help over the bumps you can't manage by yourself. When I run script 1 below, not only does it return all AD accounts not just disabled , but it also fails to run the icacls config.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory. Write-Host Taking ownership of folders Write-Host Gathering permissions Script 2. Try this one on a test system first of course! This is some great information, thanks. I'll use the insert code function in future - my bad. I know that I haven't followed strict formatting what with quotations etc, but I'm just bashing it out ASAP to get functionality and will then go through and add comments and other niceties. I'll test your code in my dev environment and see where I end up, although I can't see how this would return different results as you've cleaned up the code rather than done anything fundamentally different - or am I wrong?
Other things I noticed on a quick review of your script:. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. You're helping me to learn and that is always a good thing. A good tool can go a long way towards automating a lot of that for you. Subsequently when it gets to the folder of a disabled account, icacls fails against the Profile. If I run the following code, I see access denied errors on Profile.
At line char If I run this code where an individual disabled AD account is specified it completes successfully;. Successfully processed files; Failed processing 0 files. Gathering permissions Ok, let's first establish firmly whether your query for adusers returns false values don't know why I didn't think of it right away for the last post :. This should return the number of disabled users only that is, only one row with the name "False", but no entries for "True".
If that's the case, there is no way this query should actually try to modified enabled user's profile folder. I certainly can't reproduce it on my system.
PS: You really should use the latest revision of my script, as that first tests, whether a folder exists. Your "access denied" errors might well be trying to access nonexistent folders. I don't know what's happened - I copied your latest script and dumped it over the top of an existing script in ISE and it's working. So, to confirm - splitting the profile. For anyone else wanting to copy leaver data to cold storage and delete from the source, here is the correct code, courtesy of Fred Office Office Exchange Server.

Windows 7 is expensive and after xp only become worse. I was thinking i need to unlock the folder with some kind of unlock software, till i started googling and found this page.
It will do everything for you and put a smile on your face….. My bad, I posted the wrong link…sorry! To complete these steps, you must check that the object you want to gain control of is not inheriting some permission from a upper file or group that has no permission or for which you have no permission.
Using the above steps I still got the message that I had no permissions. This feature is fine. The implementation, however, is terrible. All of the litterally thousands of files from my old XP install now haver permissions set so that only the administrator account can access them.
In order to change them over, I have to set the secrurity for each file individually, typing out the administrator password every time. This is directly after entering the administrator password. Bloody brilliant. Trust Microsoft to take a useful security feature and turn it into a horrific nightmare of endless drudgery.
I need help this is driving me crazy!!!!!!!! Any more advice? It took 1 tree to supply the paper. Windows XP is 10x better than Windows 7 in everything.
I can say so because I have both at my home in 2 different computers near each other, and sometimes to compare them I use both at the same time. Nice Info I must say, and I did this already but unfortunatlly it did not work for me at least not for what I was doing. I own Windows server similar to Windows 7 and appears to be that disabling UAC fixed my problem. Dan, Your comment is the most apropos that can be recited in polite company.
It seems to relate to files that I have copied, not originated, like say a Word document vs. Communication assumes nothing, expecially not of proactivity, clairvoyance or genitalia size, from its intended. You either tell it all or tell nothing. But have your crown anyway. I wish I could buy the person who posted this a beer or whatever other preferred beverage. Thank You So Much! Would like to do something like that from the root of my removable HD.
Because I dread having to go manually through over 10, files. Right now it only seems to work for the object you selected, would love to see another one that does the same but includes files and subdirectories.
There is a God…. D: help me! I hate windows and if I had more money I would have switched to apple already…. I have a Mac and a Win 7 laptop. This is brutal…. They were encrypted in one way, so unless permissions are set right back to the old way you had them who remembers or can keep track!? I hate Windows right now — I just want to reset all to default. Ok, I just read the post by Johnny5 about him being experienced in these matters and having problems after a CLEAN install, I assume with the files he backed up…the rest of what he said was kind of gobbledegook for me, but I swear…I have the answer for all of you unlucky enough not to own the solution.
But here it is….. Get a Mac. I swear…. Of course it is write protected! Is that really asking too damn much??? I have no idea why my files would be write protected? Certainly not by my choosing. So It has two options, continue or cancel I choose continue and get the same window listing the next file name. Why do I need all these permissions and user account controls.
Write a different program for office networks. Mostly we have this problem cause we got a new windows on an old system. OK if your doing this I know point and click is annoying if you want to do multiple items like this and if you have it organized folders and sub folders ect. So i was trying to share with my ps3 so easier than giving the parent and the children access is not always effective.
Copy articles and just copy. Delete original files and you there you go. Sorry, but even though I did this I still get the same message. I need permission from Everyone to apply changes on the file. Still does not work. I get access denied, even with icacls from cmd as admin.
