icacls issue
Posted: 09 Jul 2019 14:25
Hi,
I cloned a windows 7 ntfs system partition and mounted it as non-system drive D but am unable to copy
"D:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Application Data\*"
using icacls I try to remove the DENY everybody ACL to gain access but it is still failing with
I am simply trying to move/copy "D:\Users\*" to "D:\profsys\*" as an exact copy on a mounted non-system drive to a mounted non-system drive.

I've tried
the last xcopy looked to be working at first, but on close inspection I found it didn't copy the "Application Data" Shortcut but created a folder named "Application Data". So this also fails to create an exact mirror. I assume backup software can do what I want, so I'd need to figure out how does backup software accomplish this task ?
I should also not call it shortcut even though it has an arrow because a shortcut has the .LNK extension and microsoft now likes to call it a file shortcut. they invented something new to annoy everybody a symbolic folder link
which is basically a shortcut without the .LNK extension as to not confuse, annoy or irritate anybody. Something similar exists on the eXPerience platform, called hard links which are pointer to a file to save space when duplicates exist.
For now I will just rename "D:\users\" to "D:\profsys" and then create a copy to D:\users using the previous commands, this will result in a broken D:\users folder and a correct D:\profsys folder. Since D:\users will be completely removed later I can hack my way out of this this way but it's ugly.
