The TakeControl Challenge.

A lot of files and folders in Windows do not actually belong to Administrators. Most system files have Trusted Installer or user profile folders have the user as owner, to assign or grant read+write, traverse or full control permissions to SYSTEM or CREATOR OWNER to the user account only.

The Challenge - Administrators can take ownership and grant full access control permissions and rights to themselves if they want to modify, rename or delete these files or folders. During this process the original permissions are removed.

The Solution - Grant Administrators full control to files, folders or shares without taking ownership or destroying the original permission using ManageRED TakeControl

Avoid Take Ownership

Using standard Windows functions, if you must access a file or a folder that you do not have rights to, you must take ownership of that file or folder. When you do this, you replace the security permissions that were originally created for the file or folder.

ManageRED TakeControl uses an append process to add the Administrators group with full control to each folder ACL and file ACL. without changing the original NTFS permission.
