Supplement Two of the NT 4.0 Server Resource Kit contains SubInAcl which can display the owner of a file and/or folder.

Supplement Two of the NT 4.0 Server Resource Kit contains SubInAcl which can display the owner of a file and/or folder.

WhoOwns.bat will build a CSV (Comma Seperated Value) file that contains a file and/or folder and the owner. Optionally, if the object is a folder, it will list the files and/or sub-folders that have different ownership.

The syntax is:

WhoOwns "<Path>" "csvfile" \[/n\] \[/f\] \[/s\] where:

Parameter  D e s c r i p t i o n  "<Path>"  The folder or file you wish to query. It must be on a local drive.  "csvfile"  The CSV file that will contain the results of the query.  /n  List file names in the folder that have a different owner.  /f  List sub-directory names in the folder that have a different owner.  /s  Process the entire "<Path>" tree  

WhoOwns.bat contains:
