Cannot use Set-Acl properly despite being file owner and being a member of Administrators Group.

Hi,
sorry if this question is already answered but i didn´t find a solution to this ...
Situation:
- Running powershell with administrator privileges.
- I am the owner of file to be modified.
- Full Control privileges holded by TrustedInstaller.
- Administrators have no modify privilege to change the file.
- i can modify acl of that file by GUI
- I cannot modify acl using Set-Acl snapin.
This is the executed command:
Get-Acl C:\inetpub\custerr\en-US\401.htm  |Set-Acl C:\inetpub\custerr\en-US\500-100.asp
and this the result:
Set-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
At line:1 char:44
+ Get-Acl C:\inetpub\custerr\en-US\401.htm  |Set-Acl C:\inetpub\custerr\en-US\500- ...
+                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (C:\inetpub\custerr\en-US\500-100.asp:String) [Set-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetAclCommand
I dont want to use external modules. This will be a part of a script to fully automate iis installation on windows 2012 and 2008..
Thanks in advance guys.

I get the same thing.  I found this post that should help you:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/87679d43-04d5-4894-b35b-f37a6f5558cb/solved-how-to-take-ownership-and-change-permissions-for-blocked-files-and-folders-in-powershell
Scroll down to one of the last posts, a long one by barnabya, I tested it and it works.  Note that you do not have to execute the bits at the very end to take ownership of the file if the account you're using is already the owner, but you DO need to
run all three bits to establish SeBackupPrivilege, SeRestorePrivilege, and SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege before running the get-acl | set-acl command.
I hope this post has helped!

  • Truss: cannot trace set-id or unradable object file: file

    Good afternoon,
    As a tool from my company is running very slowly, I wanted to know where something is going wrong. In order to determine this, I have decided to "truss" the tool:
    Prompt>truss <tool>Unfortunately I get error message:
    truss: cannot trace set-id or unradable object file: <file>Can something be done about this?
    Thanks

    Run truss as root, or remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary.

    I've written a replacement zip file creator class. Not much tested but it seems to work, however I've yet to try it with the version of WINZIP that rejected my previous attempts. Oh, and the stored dates are garbage.

    Hi Andrew,
    Did you get to a solution with this one. I'm having a bit of fun ?? attempting to configure a 7110 box for windows and solaris access. My workaround has been to grant full root permissions to all and sundry for now (far from ideal).
    The inheritence for windows users is the easy bit, as soon as I create files/folders over NFS or add a domain group into the ACL, I run into issues either reading the ACL from the solaris side or indeed accessing the directory.
    Have you come across any documentation for solaris/windows interoperability?
    Any help/advice appreciated.

  • Using CSA to filter MSN Messenger file upload and download

    How would i go about filtering out the file upload and download functionality in messenger ?
    I've already disallowed the possibility of uploading or saving from Messenger by not allowing the program the read or write files. But when a PC without this policy on it uploads to a CSA protected host. The CSA will download the entire file but then refuse to save the file.
    I'd rather disallow this functionality alltogether ? my guess are that i would hae to do some COM filtering ?
    I'd be greatfull for any hints you might have.
    Best Regards,
    Lasse

  • I'm using a Mac OS X (10.9.2) Mtn. Lion (converted to Mavericks) and use Safari for Gmail, my long time email program. Lately I almost cannot use Gmail at all. "Missing Files", "Errors", etc, etc, and can only use it in Basic HTML. HELP!

    I have no idea if the problem is with Safari or with the Gmail files.  I get the msg. "Error' over and over and often "you may have entered the address wrong" (when I KNOW I HAVE NOT) and other msgs. which I do not remember at this time. I'm having to use ''Basic HTML" and that seems to be OK - tho it is insufficient. The "Mail" app in OS X works fine but I cannot tolerate the format and must solve this dilemma. Any suggestions?  I've read the "related issues" section and have not found anything closely related to this issue and would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks tons.

  • Cannot use home; message says url does not exist, and firefox homepage is gone.

    When I open Firefox, I do not go to the Firefox homepage. The page that comes up has Mozilla Firefox on the top blue bar, and the navigation bar file - help. Underneath it reads "new tab" and the location bar reads "go to a website" followed by the Google search box which does drop down to reveal the other search engines. This is followed by the "home" box. When I click on home, I get an Alert box that states "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." I do not get the Firefox home page when I open Firefox (but it does connect me to the internet), and clicking on home does not take me to the Firefox home page either. How do I fix this problem?

    Typing in "about:home" still gets the URL not valid message. There seems to be no home to which to default, so that doesn't work. I tried to take the system back to an earlier date; it doesn't work. When I go to an earlier date and open Firefox, it crashes and needs to be reinstalled. When reinstalled, it does not give me the Firefox homepage from which to work. I generally use Google as a search engine, but do not use a google tool bar. I am at a loss as to what to do.

  • Absolute horrible customer service!!!! I cannot use a product I've already paid for and no one is helping!!!!

    So I have been a longtime Adobe customer. I have nearly every version of the creative suites, with all the bells and whistles and have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on these products for our business as well as personal use. SO.....we just upgraded the OS on our primary editing bay, and I found that I needed to reinstall the Premiere Pro 5.5 upgrade to the system that I purchased online a couple years back. I go to access my online account, and it said that I needed to reset the password, but the problem is that the email that was used is not turned off and I have no way to access.
    Thinking that this was not a big deal, I contacted support via the chat system. The first person told me he could not help at that time, and while asking a follow up question he (or she) cutoff the chat. I immediately started another chat. The next agent stayed on, but also said that they could not anything, but they would escalate it to the next group up, and that they would transfer the account to my current email address. That was nearly 3 weeks ago.
    I have since received emails nearly daily apologizing for the delay (a form letter) in resolution. Then I got another email saying I needed to write a letter saying what I wanted, and that should take care the problem. So....I did. Then I got another email.....this time saying that the letter was not enough, and that I would have to add a scanned image to the letter of my government issued ID. I replied, indicating my patience has run out after 3 weeks, but sent the letter again as requested. And guess what??? Today I get another email with an apology, and that it would be escalated to another group to see if they could do it.
    This is not acceptable in any way. I have to get my keys to the 5.5 upgrade as its using the trial version right now since I can't login to get my keys....and NO ONE AT ADOBE IS ABLE TO DO A THING ABOUT IT.  How hard is it to change the access email to ones account, or have it transferred to the new one. (I had to sign up for a new account with the correct email just to post on the forums).
    SO PLEASE.....if there is a competent person left there, that can take care of this problem please do. I just need my purchases attached to this account!!!! . I will have no choice but to start seeking a legal remedy within the next 48 hours is not resolved. I have a project that has to be completed, and due to this incompetence I can't use a product I have already paid for. It should never take nearly 3 weeks for this to be resolved.

    Thanks Steve, I appreciate any help that can be provided. I’ve tried to be patient but after getting yet another Friday saying the exact same thing about it being escalated to the right group (which is the same email I’ve gotten day after day for 3 weeks) I have had enough. Clearly whomever is handling the general customer service, in whatever country they are in really do not care or even have a process to follow. They just clear their cue apparently so that they make their personal numbers. (I was formerly a tech support manager for one of the large PC and peripherals producer....so I am familiar with some of these antics, though we would have fired someone for something like this). Given how much I have paid to Adobe for their products over the past ten years as a business owner it a shame that this is not getting resolved.

  • Re Installing Flash CS6 issues. It installs, but I can't use the program properly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times

    Hi,
    I accidentally uninstalled Flash CS6. When I reinstalled it (using a download found here on the Adobe website: Download CS6 products) I was unable to move the window around my screen. There was no window "boarder", it was only a white box that I couldn't move from the upper left corner. Also there were no toolbars. My first thought was to check in the Window options, but despite my clicking on the various options nothing popped up. I also tried changing the window display options on my computer, thinking that maybe the window header was stuck somewhere "off screen" in a place I couldn't see. I also tried toggling with the "paste board" option in flash. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled flash CS multiple times, and each time its always the same.
    This is really weird, I think I've tried practically everything. I just really want to talk to Adobe on the phone but they don't let you do that.
    Here's a screenshot of what my screen looks like
    Please help me!!!

    Do you have at least 4 GBs of RAM installed and at least 20 GBs of free space on your hard drive.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
