I have a File Server on a Windows Server 2012, with a single share-folder with all departments folders inside. The Domain\Administrator is the owner of the root shared folder. Sometimes when a regular user transfers or creates a new file or folder in this Share Folder this regular user takes ownership of this file or folder. I need to make all files and folders transferred or created inside the shared folder to be Administrator ownership by default.

    The owner is the account that creates it. There is no way a non-administrator can change the ownership to administrator. Why do you think you need this anyway? What is the 'real' problem you are trying to solve? – Zoredache Oct 27 '17 at 22:43
  • On the File Server every time that I need to assign a new user to one of the department folders, if new files or folders have been created under the ownership of a regular user, the administrator would not able to assign new security to these files or folders. A temporary workaround that I found is regaining ownership of the root folder and applying it to all sub-folder and files. – Felix D. Oct 30 '17 at 02:58
