If this solution is implemented, keep in mind that there is a Group
Policy setting called "System objects: default owner for objects created
by members of Administrators group" which can be set to either
"Administrators group" or "Object creator". If it is set to the latter
value, then newly-created files are owned by the user not the group.
And on a domain-based machine, this can be a domain policy that can't be
changed even by a member of the machine's Local Administrators group.
