hi,
I have a question regarding ownership of a folder.
Some time ago we move the user's folder from one server to another server.
Now we are using disk quote on the new server, and we allowed each user with
1 GB of data. When I did control the disk quote I sow users exceed there
limit and still they didn’t stoped saving files.
when I check the properties of user's parent folder on the server I found
out that the owner of all the user's folders on the server is
Administrators(the reason for this is because the Administrator has moved the
user's folder from one server to other server) group that is why they could
exceed there limits.
When I try to change the ownership of the user's folder back to individual
user, I couldn't do that, I went to property of folder chose the security tab
and then Advance tab, but I couldn't add any one to the list.
Any idea how can I do this?

Perhaps you should look at using a commandline tool, like subinacl
(using the setowner switch) from the resource kit tools.
