Symptoms
The task "Tune up security for folder '<DIR>
'" generated after update to POA 5.5.4 fails with the following error:
Destination host '<HOST>' (#38), IP '<IP>' : Provisioning request failed. Access is denied. [<response><errorContext description="Access is denied." code="0x80070005" executeSeqNo="3"><errorSource namespace="Error Provider" procedure="SetError"/><errorSource namespace="Error Provider Ex" procedure="RethrowError"/></errorContext></response>]
Cause
Insufficient permissions to <DIR>
folder
Resolution
Tuning up permissions is done under pem_admin user. The task could fail if pem_admin user cannot become owner of the folder <DIR>
. In such case, login to the problem server under pem_admin and take ownership for the folder <DIR>
. Then re-run the task, it should be processed successfully. After that, set the ownership back to the previous owner.
Or, as an alternative, do the following:
- Add the
<DOMAIN>
\pem_admin user to local administrators on the problem host (can be done by right-clicking Computer > Managing users and groups) - Access Control Panel and disable UAC,
- Reboot the node,
- Ensure that antivirus is not running, or does not have a handle at
<DIR>
- Rerun the task, wait until it finishes,
- Enable UAC,
- Reboot the node
