    AE uses somekind of antitampering in this case.

    I would install AE in both snapshots. First in the secondary, then in the primary and then I would try to update.

    Other alternative options:
    1. Contact Faronics ;)
    2. Disable AE services
    3. deactivate AE's drivers

    You are welcome. :)

    Hmmm. I forgot another option.

    You should also check the security permissions of those driver files. Error 5 means access denied.

    ps. If you find a solution report back. It could help someone else with similar problems.

    Classic response. If they did not explaine why is incompatible, means they did not even tested it.

    Use FD-ISR exclusion feature to exclude those drivers and try to update. If booting to the secondary snapshot does not BSOD you mean that you can work around the problem with permissions. If it BSOD's they are incompatible and you will have to choose.
    What OS? post a screenshot of the security info tab of one of those files.

    I ran into an issue with AE also. I chose, although it's really no choice in my opinion.

    You can use the command prompt to take ownership or do it the easy way with the take ownership shell.

    Hi Sly (Benjamin),

    The same problem occurred with Program Guard (from DCS).

    The solution was easy,
    1) I shutdown PG (from it's systray > right click > shutdown PG),
    2) copied the snapshot and
    3) restarted PG using it's UI.

    PG created 'lock files' on it's key programs that wouldn't let the files be copied.
    It's not a 'bug', it's 'self protection'.

    Try to do the same with Faronics.

    Sly I need to see the actual permissions from the initial tab like the one I attached here. (I try to understand if the read deny error is caused by the ntfs security attribute or by the AE drivers).

    In the first tab click when you click on the group or user name shows the actual permissions for that member.

    I gave a run to the trial and is nothing you can do about this (at least not from inside the OS).
    AE's 4 services (1 normal and 3 driver type) cannot be controlled by an admin account, you cannot access neither their registry keys nor their files attributes.

    The only way to circumvent this is to boot from a winpe and modify the access security permissions of those files from there, and hope that faronics does not revert them back to their defaults.

    Why would anyone, home user or enterprise, want to install this @*&^% on their systems is beyond my comprehension; willingly paying and installing a rootkit over which you have absolutely no control is, at least from my point of view, insane.

    I can see an Enterprise firm, or an internet cafe, who doesn't want someone to tamper. I like there protection concept, but when the take the control away from me it's over.

    !!!
    It's got its' good points.
    Great for a relatively 'fixed' box.
    Sacrifice some aspects of control for better safety: and it really is a good implementation of whitelist security app: ? no better one around.
    Faronics has been notorious for being a poor communicator when issues arise
    Faronics apps can be a real problem to uninstall.
    Fun to have AE in a VM and tool around with it.

    Different to, worse in some ways and better in others than sandboxie.
    There is experience with AE centrally managed from console in classroom type rollouts etc: seems to works well.

    Heh: conflicts with FDISR so..on this system disc....:cautious:

    @the_sly_dog: if you want some rocksolid app that does "similar" and works with FDISR: Sandboxie. :thumb:
    Another option might be DefenceWall ( I just realised that for some reason I've never tried DW in an FDISR snapshot/copy operation: o_O

    Pete??, Pandlouk??

    Yes, I see the advantages of AE too... But they could prevent tampering and allow the admin of the system to temporarly disable it for backing up. How hard is to add a checkmark like "deactivate AE service for x minutes/hours"?

    I am talking mostly for the standard version, I don't know if they have such a feature for the enterprise one.

    :) I'm just shooting the breeze...loved that description; pretty good if ESL ?? :)

    Heh: FDISR : the tame rootkit ??

    Ya: that's a sticking point for the tool: they seem to have taken the POV that while exe's can be added to the whitelist blacklist by authorised users, the 'drivers' are never 'off'
    Agree that what we might like to use 'should' be compatible with easy Imaging routines.

    It might be possible as an Anti_Exe Admin ( which is not equivalent to Local Admin ) to completely turn it off, I'm not sure.
    While I like the concept , the implementation is very secure and might be thought of as a bit cumbersome.
    Design 'give and take'.
    I dont think since V3 that they regard power users/testers like you as the market of choice.
    More the default click happy user :blink:

    When I tried it I got a bit frustrated: cant remember if I tried a hot image or not.
    Did not try a boot disc image.
    Still have it in the back of my mind as a possible.

    Hi Longboard

    A recovery disk image should be fine, as the hard drive is inert. I love the AE concept, but I always end up having trouble. Hope springs eternal.

    So it's back to using MD, as a sort of down version of AE. You can almost get it there by turning of some of the protections in MD. For me MD seems to mind it's manners.

    I love AE, but then again, I'm still using the simple version 2. :D
