Windows server home drive permissions

Now select the box on top, Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects and select Apply on bottom right, confirm if prompted. If you get some pop ups about errors for certain items just select ok and let it finish taking ownership. These will be the hidden recycle bin and volume information objects. Note: if inherited is showing and enabled on bottom left, before or after taking ownership, you need to disable it right away.

Preferably before taking ownership if you can. Also, in the Auditing Tab, if it has any items listed there, remove them all before or after taking ownership. Now after PC Restart, go back to advanced to the Ownership and Permissions Window, remove inheritance and auditing items if you were not able to before.

Look on top and see if Administrators are now the Owner of the drive or folder. See Photo for the permissions allowed for each User or Item and set them as shown. The other permissions should already be correct as shown in photo. You can change their permissions as you did adding Full Control for you. Your name will display there with your PC name on select Items.

You can add more permissions, but be careful what you allow. You do not need to add any more users or permissions to share this way. Now if you have an extra Drive and want to store your personal Information on it and want others users on your PC or PC's across your network to have access to the drive for use or storage, but do not want them accessing your personal Items, then do this.

Thanks — JohnyV. Do you mean you "have tried to take ownership as a local administrator" remotely? Do you mean that when you login locally as local administrator you cannot take ownership? Or you had tried to use domain administrator account? It will let you look at inheritance, etc. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password.
