I have a folder on my server (Windows Server 2012 r2) that is shared with Everyone. All my users upload a plain text inventory file each day. I then have a vbscript that I scheduled to run under my Administrator credentials which deletes these files after reading them. However, I get permission denied errors when trying to delete or move the files.
Here is some simple code that fails:
Dim PathtoInventoryFiles
Dim myFSO
Dim myFile
Dim colFiles
PathtoInventoryFiles = "D:\Inventory$"
Set myFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set colFiles = myFSO.GetFolder(PathtoInventoryFiles).Files
For Each myFile In colFiles
wscript.echo myFile.path
'Tried both of the following (only one at a time of course)
myFSO.DeleteFile myFile.Path 'Permission denied
myFile.Delete 'Permission denied
Next
Set myFSO = Nothing
Set colFiles = Nothing
The echo produces a correct path to a good and existing file. So I'm thinking I have a permissions issue? This is a pretty plain vanilla installation of Server 2012.
