I have just taken over a windows 2000 Advanced server AD environment.
We are getting ready to migrate to Windows SBS 2k3 standard. I have
several users who have departed the company before my arrival. I need
to get into their folder that are located in the /profiles folder. Even
as Domain or local admin i cannot get into these folders. How can i get
into these folders?
 
Even though the files are preventing you from gaining access to them you can
take ownwership of them .

See the link below

After you have taken ownership you still need to go back and add youself
(The Administrator) to the security group for the folder and give yourself
Full Control and push permissions to all files and folders.
