title: How to get the owner of the file in the windows 7?
body: <p>I have a problem - in the window when the file is opened to show the name of the one who last modified the file. This information is available if you right-click on the file and select Properties and tab Details... i see Owner line and name but i dont know how to get this from my script.</p>
  
  <p>lets see properties on file: </p>
  
  <pre><code>\\server\project\sequences\ttt_sRnd.v016.mb
  </code></pre>

  <p>I use Python2.7 and and I do not find the solution how to get the data... in linux its worked. but not in windows. 
  I tried to console utilities windows.</p>
  
  <p>dir /Q - its worked on local files</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\temp&gt;dir /Q file.ext
  11/06/2004  15:33           290,304 COMP\user       file.ext
                 1 File(s)        290,304 bytes
                 0 Dir(s)  316,720,226,304 bytes free
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but don't worked when file on server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\\server\project\sequences\&gt;dir /Q file.ext
  21/12/2016  16:00            66,372 ...                    file.ext
                 1 File(s)         66,372 bytes
                 0 Dir(s)  52,561,190,912 bytes free
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it's strange, because in the explorer I can see the data and they are available</p>
  
  <p>well, try another utility <code>subinacl.exe</code></p>
  
  <p>its the same - worked on local files and not worked with file on server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\temp&gt;subinacl.exe /file file.ext /display=owner
  /owner             =comp\user
  
  C:\temp&gt;subinacl.exe /file \\server\project\sequences\file.ext  /display=owner
  \\server\project\sequences\file.ext - CreateFile Error : 1314 A required privilege is not held by the client.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i try <code>takeown</code> and all the same - work only on local files:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\temp&gt;takeown /F file.ext
  SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\temp\file.ext" now owned by user "COMP\user".
  
  \\server\project\sequences\&gt;takeown /F file.ext
  ERROR: Access is denied.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It may have something else utility in windows? 
  I am ready even to write such a tool myself and call it from python. but I have no idea how to get this information? tell me how to crash problem in any programming language? I believe that in C/С++ or C# code is a matter of the 5-lines with the output to the console ... if so - what will be glad to help, and then I will cause this utility from python</p>
