Thanks, James! It is Windows 10 Enterprise - however it is not being joined to a domain. Regardless - this happened on all systems I have managed since Windows XP - not specific to enterprise or non enterprise version. It's an issue with local accounts only.
Still, there should be an easy way to wipe all permissions on the disk and reset it to the new OS - especially if I am local administrator of the system. -----Original Message----- From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of James M.

However, with an Enterprise OS, shouldn't you use a domain account, and then have the same user and permissions?
