Hi
I'm trying to repair local group policy on a number of remote PCs (win 10) by deleting the file held in %windir%\system32\GroupPolicy\machine\registry.pol
I've created a package and deployed it many times now with the same result: The file is never deleted. The package does run as I can log various steps through the process.
I've used psexec to run this manually as system and it works every time.
I have added debugging lines in my code file and it appears that the deployment can't see the grouppolicy folder. After a little investigation it is a hidden folder so I tried adding
attrib -h %windir%\system32\GroupPolicy. (Also tried c:\windows\system32...)
Del /q %windir%\system32\GroupPolicy/machine\registry.pol
It just doesn't work. If I add Dir c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy > c:\test.txt
The output is a blank system32 listing as if it can't find the folder
If I run the cmd file as admin it works fine.
I've tried using RD /Q /S %windir%\system32\GroupPolicy.
instead with no luck.
Any help would be most appreciated as this is driving me nuts.
