Take ownership and then replace the permissions? You need local admin for that, which I am assuming Domain Admin should have
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard McClary Sent: 06 November 2015 17:20 To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Folder in c:\Windows Greetings! Working though PCI-DSS compliance, we run "Identity Finder", which scans all workstations and servers searching for credit card information. We need to delete those files. Problem- We have about a dozen files in a folder, "C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace\aspca\mwo\HomeShares\[User Name]". It seems being a Domain Admin is insufficient for access to this folder. (At least remotely, using either Windows Explorer or "Hyena".) Worse, we find files of the same name elsewhere in the file system and delete them. However, the copy in this inaccessible folder restores it. How to get into that folder to delete the offending files? Thanks!
