We have a user whos computer was originally setup with his local account has the admin. Now is computer has joined the domain and is no longer an admin on his local computer, we have had some permission issues. He is a member of his local power users group, just because of some old applications that need access to the reg. How do we fix the permission issues so he can access some of his local documents.

Thx

logout of the domain and back in the local computer as old admin and password. then change permissions old admin profile to allow access to domain user. or just copy the files he wants off onto cd or whatever

Log in as Administrator (Domain or local) or account with administrative right. Navigate to Command Prompt and to the user?s (say, Joe) folder.

Use the following command.

CACLS *.* /T /E /G Joe:F

The above command grants (G) user account Joe Full Control right (F) on all current files and sub folders (T).

For more information on switches and keys, use ?CACLS /?? without the quotes.

You may adjust or change keys accordingly.
