SYMPTOMS

When you use the CACLS/T parameter to change an access control list (ACL), the command does not finish if the CACLS command also has the /C parameter provided and an "access denied" error is reached. The CACLS command stops at the first occurrence of an "access denied" error.

MORE INFORMATION

The Cacls.exe security utility located in the %Systemroot%\System32 directory displays or modifies access control lists (ACLs) of files. The CACLS /? command yields the following output on its usage:

  CACLS filename [/T] [/E] [/C] [/G user:perm] [/R user [...]]

                 [/P user:perm [...]] [/D user [...]]
     filename      Displays ACLs.
     /T            Changes ACLs of specified files in
                    the current directory and all subdirectories.
     /E            Edit ACL instead of replacing it.
     /C            Continue on access denied errors.
     /G user:perm  Grant specified user access rights.
                   Perm can be: R  Read
                                C  Change (write)
                                F  Full control
     /R user       Revoke specified user's access rights (only valid with
                   /E).
     /P user:perm  Replace specified user's access rights.
                   Perm can be: N  None
                                R  Read
                                C  Change (write)
                                F  Full control
     /D user       Deny specified user access.
