TakeOwnerShipEx method of the Win32_PageFile class
The TakeOwnerShipEx WMI class method obtains ownership of the logical paging file specified in the object path. This method is an extended version of the TakeOwnerShip method. If the logical file is actually a directory, then this method acts recursively, taking ownership of all of the files and subdirectories the directory contains.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.
Syntax
uint32 TakeOwnerShipEx(
[out] string StopFileName,
[in, optional] string StartFileName,
[in, optional] boolean Recursive
);
Parameters
-
StopFileName [out]
-
Name of the file or directory where the TakeOwnerShipEx method failed. This parameter will be null if the method succeeds.
-
StartFileName [in, optional]
-
Names the child file or directory to use as a starting point for TakeOwnerShipEx.The StartFileName parameter is typically the StopFileName parameter specifying the file or directory at which an error occurred from the previous method call. If this parameter is NULL, the operation is performed on the file or directory specified in the ExecMethod call.
-
Recursive [in, optional]
-
If true, the change of ownership will be applied recursively to the files and directories within the directory specified by the CIM_LogicalFile instance.
Note
For file instances, the Recursive parameter is ignored.
