I'm trying to change the group of a folder called 'foo' and it's files
using chgrp to COMPANY\Domain+Admins
I've tried all kinds of variations:
chgrp -R \"COMPANY\\Domain+Admins\" foo
But it's not liking that.
This is kornshell.
Any ideas? I have tried other variations but unsuccessfull.
Thank you in advance.

The correct word is "directory", please. A folder is an icon, which may
or may not represent a directory, a file, nor none of the
aforementioned.
> called 'foo' and it's files using chgrp to COMPANY\Domain+Admins
Do you have a group by the name "COMPANY\Domain+Admins" [*] in
"/etc/group" and in "/etc/passwd"? Or are we talking of something
outside of UNIX, such as users and groups in a Samba configuration?
[*] Or any group names of a similar construct, that is.

No,
Actually this is using a Unix emulator on a win2008 server. So, I
guess in my mind, it is a folder. I guess I am a horrible person for
thinking so right?
Anyways, this is using a Unix emulator with Korn shell.
Thanks again,
Roger

No, but surely it helps to know the right terms?

chgrp -R \"COMPANY\\Domain+Admins\" foo
"COMPANY\Domain+Admins"
Note that this includes the quotes! That looks very odd indeed. I
dont't know how your emulator works, but group names with quotes in them
seem very unlikely. Do you have a file or directory with the right
ownership already? If so, what is the output of
ls -ld file_or_dir_that_is_ok
That will tell you what the group name looks like.
