I found the solution by using UNC paths instead and that seemed to do the trick.

I'm trying to use the Get-Acl and Set-Acl commands to set perms on a folder..<br />
<br />
For example I have a folder with where users do not have modify rights:<br />
<br />
D:\Program Files (x86)\bogusfolder &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have C:\Program Files (x86)\bogusfolder where users have modify rights so I have run:<br />
<br />
Get-Acl -path &quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\bogusfolder&quot; | Set-Acl -path &quot;D:\Program Files (x86)\bogusfolder&quot;<br />
<br />
However, I keep getting &quot;The security identifier is not allowed to be the owner of this object&quot;<br />
<br />
Google yields quite a few hits on this topic but they are all ancient from PS 1.0 etc.. is there a new and better way of doing this simply without delving into .net etc...

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
