Of course this does not work on a Novell network, where the User is always reported to be "Everyone".

So here's my situation: Migration scenario using Quest Migration Manager for Active Directory. A file server where Users' My Docs are being redirected to. Per the GUI (Windows Explorer), when viewing the Ownership on a folder, shows SOURCE\Username BUT both the script and the DIR /Q command show TARGET\Username .. Why does the GUI report something different?

Interesting...

Is Owner a single value attribute or a multivalue attribute?

What would account for this?

Thanks in advance if anybody can provide some insight!

Kind Regards,

Why not just use one CMD line?

> dir /q

DIR [drive:][path][filename] [/A[[:]attributes]] [/B] [/C] [/D] [/L] [/N]

[/O[[:]sortorder]] [/P] [/Q] [/S] [/T[[:]timefield]] [/W] [/X] [/4]

/Q Display the owner of the file.
