I'm trying to restore preexisting files on a DFS share on Server2012r2. No matter what I do, I get this response. This occurs even if I use -RestoreToPath or if I try to run it with the local admin account.
PS E:\> Restore-DfsrPreservedFiles -Path "E:\share\DfsrPrivate\PreExistingManifest.xml" -RestoreToOrigin -Force
Restore-DfsrPreservedFiles : Access to path E:\share\DfsrPrivate\PreExisting\username\Data aplikací\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar was denied.
The issue seems to be the fact, that the administrator doesn't have the permissions to access some AppData stuff. However the DFS service moved it to PreservedFiles without an issue, so there has got to be some way of doing this.
I need for Restore-DfsrPreservedFiles to work in a sudo rsync -a kind of way.
Or at least make it move anything it can access while ignoring errors.
After finding out the original files were in
SHARE\DfsrPrivate\PreExisting\and only the direct contents had malformed names in a "nice" way, I decided to just move it in file explorer and rename the folders with a regex in powershell. Seems to have worked.
