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

    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.

    Not natural pee comes in powdered form and must be turned into pee by adding water to it. It is usually dehydrated urine that looks and smells like regular pee. - gooodprgn. It has a longer shelf life as compared to liquid not natural pee. My contemplations are in accordance with I advise trade this product, and I will share my ideas. One disadvantage of this urine is that if not properly prepared, it can result in a failed drug test. Liquid Urine: Also known as premixed urine, liquid urine is easy to use. It is suitable for sudden urine drug tests as you don’t have to prepare anything. However, you will have to warm it up before submitting the sample to the testing center. A reliable brand, Test Clear uses dehydrated urine as its product. This means you get actual human pee just in the powdered form. It automatically has the real pee constituents like urea, uric acid, creatinine, etc. You just need to add water, warm it up and submit the 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.

How to Create SharePoint Items with Power Automate Desktop

Image
Overview Power Automate Desktop is a great way to automate many of your daily task so you can focus on real work. A prime example of this is getting data from one place to another, especially when those data sources do not have an API such as a legacy desktop application or a file. In this example I demonstrate several ways in which an Excel sheet containing fictitious customer data could be loaded into a SharePoint list. In order to do this I first generated some fake data for my customers using Mockaroo . I then created a new SharePoint list and added some columns to match my spreadsheet. Methods My original plan was to just use the PAD recorder , which I did, but after creating that Flow I decided to find other possible ways to accomplish the task. The list below is not a complete list but should provide some ideas. The flexibility of PAD allows for an even wider range of possibilities for carrying out tasks such as these. At the end of each section I have placed the s

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. This is helpful in situation where involving an outside library will slow down your deployment time by having to be approved in a change control board. If utilizing an outside code library is not a concern you can create a connection to Dataverse utilizing the Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling connector Get-CrmConnection cmdlet.
