In the Netware world, bringing up a file's properties with the Cli32 shows
you which user created the file.

Is there a similar ability in Win2K on a server? Can any utility show me
who the CREATOR OWNER is?

A program popped up that I can't figure who might have installed it; the
advanced permissions show the owner as "machinename\administrators" which
is of little help.

Anyone have a pointer? Xcacls doesn't seem to be showing me what I want to
see...

Thanks,

Jeff

Explorer can show this information - just view details, and add the owner
column. However, if the administrators group (not the user) is the owner,
an administrator overwrote it.

Hm. Interesting... so without auditing being turned on, there's no way to
know who created the file?

Damn.

Thanks.
