Can not change owner to other users or groups

Hi,

On my Windows 2000 Server SP4 file server there is no option to change the

owner to other users or groups, the option box just isn't there, I can only

set the owner as administratot or the user currently logged on.

Also, when a user creates a new folder no owner is assigned at all so it can

not inherit any permissions.

Would anyone know why this is occuring?

Thanks,

Colin
