If I take the variables out, and just put in a folder path and a group name I get the same error when attempting to run this command from powershell. &nbsp;From my workstation, if I run the command from a command prompt, the command works???

<div>
Try the following..<br />
<br />
icacls 'w:\prod\$libname\$dirname<wbr />' /grant 'DOMAINNAME\$groupname&quot;:F'<wbr />
</div>


Try the following..

icacls 'w:\prod\$libname\$dirname' /grant 'DOMAINNAME\$groupname":F'

<div>
It ended up being icacls 'w:\prod\$libname\$dirname<wbr />' /grant &quot;&quot;DOMAINNAME\$groupname&quot;:F<wbr />&quot;<br />
<br />
Thanks!

It ended up being icacls 'w:\prod\$libname\$dirname' /grant ""DOMAINNAME\$groupname":F"

Thanks!

Hello,<br />
I am in need of immediate assistance if at all possible.<br />
<br />
I am trying to use the icacls command in one of my powershell scripts. &nbsp;I am having a problem when I try to run the command as follows:<br />
<br />
icacls &quot;w:\prod\$libname\$dirname<wbr />&quot; /grant &quot;DOMAINNAME\$groupname&quot;:F<br />
<br />
the error I receive during my script is Invalid Parameter &quot;DOMAINNAME\the_group_name<wbr />&quot;<br />
<br />
I have checked and &quot;the_group_name&quot; exists in Active Directory under the DOMAINNAME domain. &nbsp;I am unsure why it is receiving this as an invalid parameter?<br />
<br />
Attempting to run this command from Server 2008 R2<br />

Thanks.
