On a Win2ksp4 server I have a directory with one file which I am unable to do
anything with (move, delete, permission.) The security tab and most
information is missing from the properties of the file, but I can at least
view the directory and file. Fixes I've tried thus far:
- Take ownership of the directory above and propogate down through the gui.
Didn't work as either a local or domain admin
- Ran CHKDSK, no problems found
- Ran some reg hack to make sure the security tab dll was set to come up
- Restart server
- Login as the user who created the file and change perms (security tab
still missing)
- run various ACL utilities as local admin to reset perms...all fail.
I really need to fix this issue so that the folder redirection service can
finish transferring files to a new server, it obviously stumbles on this
directory every time it attempts to sync. Also, I hate working on something
and not finding a fix.
Thanks for the help! |

Did you try deleting it from the Recovery Console?
Or a Linux RW NTFS distribution?

Can you rename or move the file from either Explorer or a CMD prompt?
If you can't, then what's the error?

I wish it was that easy, but no, obviously command prompt doesn't work.
Recovery Console doesn't work. I have Mac users, but not on this server. I'm
accustomed to the headaches they create unfortunately, but it isn't relevant
in this scenario. >> Stay informed about: Security tab missing and many fixes tried |

Did you LOOK at the list of stuff I've tried? Of course I've tried every
possible combination of move/delete/rename from every possible source on this
directory. The error is 'access denied', again, more than likely becuase the
Security Tab isn't even an option when viewing the properties of this
directory and file. >> Stay informed about: Security tab missing and many fixes tried |

Relax - I had read your message but it was not 100% clear if you had
tried a
plain old command line delete. From Explorer I assume you have a
General
tab but you get access-denied when you try to toggle things like
Read-Only
and then hit Apply?
Is there a Summary tab? I'm confused by "most information is missing
from
the properties of the file." What is missing?
Do other files in this directory have a security tab?
