File Permissions?

[yhttech]

I am starting to build an image with Windows 10 Education as the OS and our apps for summer deployment. There are a few apps that require some minor tweaks to settings files after install. I open these files in Notepad to edit (mainly to change server IP addresses), and when I go to save the file, I get an access denied error message. I am logged in as the built in administrator account which is a member of the administrators group on the PC, and have even tried to take ownership of the folder where this file is located. There seems to be a setting that is forcing all files and folders inside C:\Program Files to be read only. If I go to change it, it goes through the motions, but no setting sticks. Any ideas?

save the modified file elsewhere then copy it over the existing file

What a PITA....

is the application your trying to edit running while your editing the file (or as a service)

if your deploying the image you could add a step to the task sequence to grab the settings file from elsewhere as part of a deployment of the machine.

GPO Preferences?

 

or mount the image you are going to deploy and just change the file / over write it, unmount the image wim
