A directory with a multitude of subdirectories at a client's office need to have ownership changed to a single Administrator account. Instead of changing the security settings for each and every subdirectory within the one folder (which could take me weeks), is it possible to perform a mass ownership reassignment to each and every subdirectory within one single directory?

Not familiar with that acronym, so probably not. –  Brandon Apr 25 '13 at 16:18

I would suggest looking into icacls with the /t and /c switches.
