I installed in my server 2012 Bitlocker and also im using freeFileSync to Synchronise the Data. but the problem is, always giving me an error with the Permissions. so when i check it, there is no owner of the folder of Partition, every time when i start the Server, i find the Folder or File owner changed.

and im changing it to Administrator, but it's changing by itself, when i restart the Server

some one have any Idea please please.

Thank you
Hadi

    Hi,@OSR OSR

    Thanks for your post.

    Is there the 3rd part software installed recently? Since many files are affected, I suspect if there's some lock programs do the operation. Please try to booting into safe mode and check again.

    If after that, it is still no clue. I'm afraid you could only use Takeown to assigne ownership to the Administrators group and do the operation.

    In addition, if you would like to know how it happened, please also enable auditing. So that you may know who change the folder next time.

    Best Regards,

    Vicky

    Hi,

    sorry i had some problems that why i couldnt answer.

    no i didn't install any software it was just Bitlocker. this Server its just for Data Saving, so i start it one a week.
    but everytime i start it and i open the bitlocker lock, wanting to Synchronise the Data i get error with Permissions, then i open the properties to find there is no owner, and when i try to set the administrator as owner its work but just or the main file, but its not take the under Files.

    here a pic of the problem, it's in German, but its says The permissions of K: // cannot be written. Access denied.
    as i said when i open the properties, i don't find the owner, every time i have to set one, and for each under folder i have to set the owner separately
