I understand that SIDs may vary from one machine to the other, even if the user name ist the same. For example, on my primary computer, the SID for my account is
S-1-5-21-1547161642-2111687655-725345543-1003
while on my secondary computer, the SID is
S-1-5-21-1202660629-117609710-682003330-1005
As you can see, the SIDs differ greatly, so having identical SIDs on both machines for my account is next to impossible. If taking over file ownership requires identical SIDs, then it cannot be done. But I doubt that this is the case, because taking over file ownership works when I am logged in as administrator. And the administrator's SID on my primary computer is
S-1-5-21-1547161642-2111687655-725345543-500
while on my secondary computer it is
S-1-5-21-1202660629-117609710-682003330-500
If taking over file ownership required identical SIDs on both machines, then it wouldn't work for the administrator either. But it does work for the administrator, so it cannot have to do with the SIDs not being identical.
It must be some access rights problem, or maybe it has to do with some strange policy setting. Otherwise, why should I not be able to take over file ownership on a remote computer, while it does work locally?
