How to Take Ownership of a SharePoint Site Collection ??
If you are a Farm administrator and would like to administrate a Site Collection. You would already know that the farm administrator does not automatically have access to all SharePoint sites.
So to take the ownership of a SharePoint site Collection, one can use the stsadm SiteOwner Operator to achieve the same.
stsadm -o siteowner -url https://yoursharepointsiteurl -ownerlogin domainname\username
Use the -secondarylogin switch instead of the -ownerlogin to take ownership of the “Secondary site administrator” role.
