Hi

I setup a new Windows 2019 Server and I created a user in the Administrators group called "dCTask". When I log into the server as dCTask all my VFP applications complain that the data tables are read only. The tables do not have the read only flag checked. When I check the security tab the "Administrators group has full control. So I tried opening a table using Libre Office it reports that the table is "locked for editing by Unknown User". When I check the effective privileges in the Security tab for the dCTask user it says it has full control of everything.

The only way I have found to fix this is the explicitly add the dCTask user in the security tab for the folder containing the tables which is redundant but works. Does anyone have any suggestions about what cases this problem?

I should add that I did use the Group Policy Editor to disable running all Administrators in Admin Approval mode and I used gpupdate/force after the change.

Thanks,
Simon
