An error occurred while applying security information to

While attempting to move files from a hard drive I recovered I kept getting the following error on a specific set of files.

An error occurred while applying security information to
{G:\Folder}
Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied.

In order to fix it did the following.

-Open a Command Prompt "As Administrator"

-Run the following commands:

takeown /f "G:\folder" /r /d y
icacls "G:\folder" /grant administrators:F /T

    I have an external hard drive that was somehow messed with and there are files that cannot be accessed. I'm receiving the same message. How would I fix this issue?

    This solved it for me

    You may also try Computer Management/Shared Folders/Open Files and close any affected files. For me this solved the problem.

    this doesn't work for me, neither commands are being recognised

  14. UnknownApril 4, 2017 at 9:36 PM

    Damn!! It worked.
    For the ones saying the command doesn't work, put a space after the folder name, as in:
    takeown /f G:\folder /r /d y

    one more thing, change "administrators" for your administrator name, like my case, in portuguese, it goes like this:

    icacls G:\folder /grant administrador:F /T

    Thanks a lot, Richard

    You are a lifesaver! NOTE: I had to put the path in quotes and add a space between the path and the /r.

    This is the single most useful approach to this problem. The other method (going through Properties->Security then editing the permissions) is from hell. Thanks.

    Divide those 30ml into equal doses thrice, or more times, a day. Once you’re ready to use this remedy, begin with mixing 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into 8 ounces of distilled water. If you have ever used mouthwash before, you will be familiar with how to use Toxin Rid. Prepare your small bottle of Toxin Rid Rescue, excuse yourself for a few moments, and then walk to the nearest toilet. Given that it takes up to half a year to fully cleanse your body, not everyone has that luxury. You can also completely shave your head but it’s too obvious and they might request another sample.

Add User As Local Administrator On Domain Controller

I recently was settting up a new Microsoft SharePoint 2010 machine and had promoted the machine to a domain controller before creating my SharePoint admin accounts.  I needed to add several of my accounts to the local Administrators group.  Unfortunately after you promote a server to a domain controller you can no longer access the GUI for Local Users and Groups.  Instead I had to use the command line to add the users. Open a command promt using the "Run as administrator" function and then run the following command. net localgroup Administrators /add {domain}\{user} Note: do not include the {} brackets.

Connecting to Dataverse using PowerShell can be very helpful for data migrations and use within Azure DevOps. Connecting to an instance in a non-interactive way can be tricky though. This article will provide you the links you need for creation and App registration and adding the app user to your environment. You can then utilize the script provided to call Web API requests including ones you define using the new Custom API functionality now available. The script was written so that it is not dependent on any outside libraries such as the Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling connector.

Windows Server 2008R2 VMs Shut Down After 1 to 2 Hours

Image
When created a lab environment to test ADFS 2.0 I utilized the Windows 2008R2 VM baselines distributed by Microsoft.  After a few days I was told that I had to activate.  The VMs included a 180 day license for use but I didn't feel like adding another network adapter into Hyper-V to connect them to the internet.  I started having issues though where the servers would shut down every hour or so.  I though that maybe there was a memory issue and Hyper-V was shutting them down in order to free up RAM.  Turns out that if Server 2008R2 is not activated it automatically shuts down after a period of time.  After connecting the server to the internet and activating them the problem went away. Finally the madness of the unknown shut downs has ended :)
