Can I take over ownership and then set-acl to a folder? I have a folders.txt file where I have the location of the folder. 

For Example:

```
D:\Dept\CC\NorthRiver\16-17\StaffAdministration

```

Then I am creating a new year of the previous year folder structure and copying the rights and permissions of the previous years folders to the new folder years matching folder. I ran into an issue though because of ownership of the folder. If I am not the owner I can not duplicate the permissions of certain folders and I receive `Set-ACL : The security identifier is not allowed to be the owner of this object.` Is there any way around this?

I tried adding the line (to change the owner to me but that did not work either):

```
get-item $currentFolder.Replace("16-17", "15-16") | set-owner -Account 'VDB-TST1\Administrators'

```

Does anyone have any ideas of how I may accomplish this?
This is the full script I have:

```
Function Get-FileName{
[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
    [String]$Filter = "|*.*",
    [String]$InitialDirectory = "C:\")

    [void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.windows.forms")
    $OpenFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
    $OpenFileDialog.initialDirectory = $InitialDirectory
    $OpenFileDialog.filter = $Filter
    [void]$OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()
    $OpenFileDialog.filename
}

    #Get and Set the ACL to the new years folder structure
    foreach ($currentFolder in (GC (Get-FileName -InitialDirectory $env:USERPROFILE\Desktop -Filter "Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"))) {
    md $currentFolder # Create Folder
    get-item $currentFolder.Replace("16-17", "15-16") | set-owner -Account 'VDB-TST1\Administrators'
    Get-ACL $currentFolder.Replace("16-17", "15-16") | Set-ACL $currentFolder 
}

```
