A critical folder on our server has become corrupt to the
point of not being able to delete it, take ownership or
assign permissions.

How can you rid a folder such as this?

It happens quite often it seems in our environment.

Thanks in advance,

What version of the OS are you using on the server?

BTW: Have you tried searching the Knowledge Base?

Also, what are the specific error messages you are getting when you try
these operations?

goto a command prompt and find out what the actual 8.3 name is for it, like
C:\program~1 by using dir /x . Once you find that out you can access it. if
you have to use cacls C:\folder /T /P everyone:f .

Did you try scanning the disk for errors? Fixing the errors might regain
control of the folder.

If it does I would recommend replacing the drive before you end up with a
totally unbootable system.

Its the standard errors you get when you have a corrupted
folder that you cannot delete... "directory is not
empty....access denied..."

Can't get ACL enumerationwhen trying to add users for
ownership or NTFS perms.

Its a cock lock ... help ...

I don't mean to offend you but have you thought about calling in a
consultant to take a look at your server. I think you would benefit from
having an expert look over your setup and fixing your issues. Just my .02 so
don't get pi$$ed off.

this one, lol.

How do you toast a folder that is inacessible, but
visible???
