<TIP type=friendly topic=Multiposting is Not a Good Thing>

If you need to post a question to more than one newsgroup, please crosspost(send
to more than one group at once) instead of multiposting (remailing the same
message to multiple groups).  This ties threads together, making it easier for
both responders and you to see whether your question was answered and what the
answers were.

'connect to WMI namespace on local machine
Set objServices =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}")

'get a reference to data file
strFile = Wscript.Arguments(0)
Set objFile = objServices.Get("CIM_DataFile.Name='" & strFile & "'")

If  objFile.TakeOwnership = 0 Then
 Wscript.Echo "File ownership successfully changed"
Else
 Wscript.Echo "File ownership transfer operation"
End If

They syntax is:
to.vbs path
So
to.vbs c:\data\report.doc
would attempt to take ownership of the file c:\data\report.doc.

WMI is included with 2000 and XP.
