Windows Server 2008 Access Denied Remote Desktop
vote favorite 3 I'm an administrator on a Windows 2008 server. When I try to change file permissions on a directory, I get an error: Error Applying Security Access is denied. I am an administrator on the machine, and I made sure nothing has the file(s) locked (with Process Explorer). I even booted another user who had a logged-in Remote Desktop session. Some of the files it complains about are in a .hg folder, as there is a Mercurial repository in windows server 2008 access denied folder the directory I'm working on. I noticed that something in the directory is set to read-only so I unchecked that and applied. It looked like it worked, but looking again it's back to read-only and setting permissions still fails. There is a site in IIS using a subdirectory of this directory. Update: I just found this article about this sort of problem. The note at the bottom mentions that if it's not working, check out LockHunter. It told me that the directory was locked by IIS, so I ran iisreset -stop and tried setting permissions again. Same error. :( windows-server-2008 permissions share|improve this question edited Oct 19 '10 at 23:58 asked Oct 19 '10 at 23:48 adambox 3924613 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 13 down vote accepted This can happen if you really don't have access to that directory. In Windows you CAN lock out the administrator. Ran into this last week, in fact. Check the permissions on that directory to ensure that Administrators is in the list. If you can't even do that, you'll have to take ownership of the folder first (it's a tab in the Advanced Permissions dialog screen). share|improve this answer answered Oct 20 '10 at 0:00 sysadmin1138♦ 99.2k14124253 1 Looking at the top level folder I'm working on, Administrators has Full Control.

0 5 Years Ago While logged into my sbs 2008 using the domain administrator account I keep getting this error when changing folder security to folders and children. error applying security An error occurred while applying security information to: c:\folder\file.doc access denied All of the https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/threads/345952/sbs-2008-file-permissions-error-applying-security-access-denied files and subfolders in this folder have full permissions for the administrator account but some files still refuse to allow permission changes inherited from the parent folder. I can however change these files individual permissions without this error occurring. http://superuser.com/questions/606704/locked-out-from-windows-server-2008r2-disk-as-an-administrator Any idea how I can change folder and file permissions without having to apply to individual files (there are many files and folders to change)? heals1ic 9 posts since Jul 2010 Community Member 4Contributors 12Replies 15Views 5 YearsDiscussion windows server Span 5 Years Ago Last Post by ComputerCharmer 0 jlego 15 5 Years Ago Try subinacl Try using subinacl: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en subinacl /applyonly=own /subdirectories "c:\users\admin" You might also try cacls cacls "C:\users\Admin" /t /c /g Everyone:F do this in safe mode'' 0 Discussion Starter heals1ic 5 Years Ago I have tried subinacl and I get the same result permission denied. Some more background - I have changed the owner of the parent folder to the administrators group and then windows server 2008 attempted to change the permissions of the children under it but I get he same problem – access denied The files that are causing the issue seem to have - SYSTEM account – full permission Administrators group – full permission Users group – read & execute and read checked As soon as I individually adjust the Users group permissions to Full Control on that file the parent permission changes now propagate (inherited groups are added and permissions are granted) It's got me baffled?? 0 jlego 15 5 Years Ago got me baffled as well. i will do some research if i get a chance but i am pretty busy at the current moment - in the meantime maybe someone else can answer this one. 0 Discussion Starter heals1ic 5 Years Ago I did have some success with cacls but only adding a user with full permissions. Still could not get domain\users to have full control on all files propagated from the parent folder. Still get permission denied on some files for that. 0 jlego 15 5 Years Ago try this just as a test.. create a new security group (in active directory) name it test or something add a few users to it give the group full access permisions in the parent folder see if one of the users still has issues 0 jlego 15 5 Years Ago also.. are you giv

I tried to lock down the access rights to a disk using the security properties at disk level. However, in the process, I've locked myself out as Administrator. I can and have seized ownership of the disk, and then I can view the security properties of the disk. Howver if I try to edit and change them for administrators I get "An error occured while applying security information to: E:\ Access Denied". UAC is set to never notify. The disk is also inaccessable with an elevated command prompt. Same message "Access Denied". Security settings as follows: CREATOR OWNER - No settings SYSTEM - All deny MY_USERNAME - All allow Administrators - All allow Users - All deny I guess I cannot get access because I am in the users group. Can I solve this without removing myself from the Users group? I prefer not to do that because it is an Active Directory group in the Users group which I am in over which I have no control. security permissions windows-server-2008-r2 share|improve this question asked Jun 12 '13 at 13:40 Martijn Burger 201111 You should be able to take ownership over the object. Once you do that, you can set the ACL to whatever you want. –allquicatic Jun 12 '13 at 14:07 Okay. What I hoped I didn't have to do worked. 1. Remove the AD group 'Authenticated Users' from the local machine Users group. 2. Set rights for Users as an adminsitrator and owner to access. 3. Add Authenticated Users back to the local machine Users group. No other way out in this dead-lock. –Martijn Burger Jun 12 '13 at 15:26 1 Deny ACLs take precedence over allow ACLs. If you have a DENY all, then you will never be able to access anything. You should almost never be using an explicit DENY ACL on Windows. Simply don't add acls that allow access, and depend on the implicit deny. –Zoredache Jun 12 '13 at 20:16 Thanks zoredache! Found that out the hard way. :) –Martijn Burger Jun 12 '13 at 22:51 add a comment|
