Hello all.
New member and new to Powershell so forgive if this is well known.
I have the need to determine the ACLs for a range of files and have found code-snippets and such that have helped and for the most part seem to work well. However, one thing is beyond me at the moment:
1) Get-ACL: Get-Acl on a .pst file, it gives me an error, no matter the location of the file, whether it is open in outlook or not, no matter of size or such things. I can see the file with Get-ChildItem and indeed using icacls and the Windows Explorer Properties menu, I can see the security tab and the permissions. So they are there and they are set. But when I try the command, I get the following:
PS C:\users\Shadow\Desktop> get-acl '.\PersonalFolders.pst'
get-acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
At line:1 char:1
+ get-acl '.\PersonalFolders.pst'
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetAclCommand
Suggestions? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
W
