How to change ownership of a file to another user without obtaining SeRestorePrivilege?
To change the ownership of a file to another user without requiring the SeRestorePrivilege privilege, you can use the icacls
command-line tool available in Windows. Here's an example:
batch@echo off
set "filePath=C:\path\to\file.txt"
set "newOwner=DOMAIN\new_user"
rem Change ownership of the file
icacls "%filePath%" /setowner "%newOwner%"
echo Ownership changed.
In this batch script, you need to set the filePath
variable to the path of the file whose ownership you want to change. Also, set the newOwner
variable to the desired user or group to which you want to assign ownership.
The icacls
command with the /setowner
parameter is used to modify the ownership of the specified file. By running this command, you'll change the ownership to the user or group specified in the newOwner
variable.
After executing the command, the batch script will print "Ownership changed." to the console.
Please make sure to run the batch script with administrative privileges to ensure you have the necessary permissions to change the file ownership.
