Hi,
i am trying to pass the following string to an invoke-command:" icacls C:\ /grant:r BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)"
I get this error:
The term ‘OI’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again
