Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied

Posted by ScaredCheetah8813@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 11 comments

It's weird because I'm logged in with the only user in the PC and it says I'm "administrator". Yet this happens when I try to get ownership of a disk. Any solutions?

Are you using the GUI or CMD?

It still is not working. I ran the cmd as administrator, used the command "takeown /F C: /R /SKIPSL /A /D N" and it showed up as successfully given permission to the admin group. Then when I went to Proprities-Security-Advanced and selected "Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object" and pressed "Ok" it still showed up as "Failed to enumerate objects in the container. access denied"

You shouldn't / can't do that to the OS volume. Whatever issue you're trying to resolve it sounds like it's major, just reinstall the OS.

Have you confirmed you are actually a part of the administrators group?

I've checked my user in settings and below my name it says "Administrator". I also used "whoami /group" in cmd and it said I was part of administrators, so I would assume yes.

I tried it but it gave access to the Administrator Group but it still didn't work. Maybe i used the command wrongly. could you send a example of the command i should be using please. im trying to take ownership of a drive btw,
