Pre-, post- commands have probs with some external tools

ATI Home 2009


Post command should do following
echo y > yesanswer.txt
cscript pagefileconfig.vbs /create /i 716 /m 716 /vo c: < yesanswer.txt
However, command invokes a batch file. Batch comprises above lines.

All that results as following

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

WARNING: If the pagefile on volume 'C:' has an initial size of less than
2046 MB, then the system may not be able to create debugging
information file if a STOP error occurs.
Continue Anyway [y/n]?
ERROR: Page File for the specified volume cannot be created.


No probs, if doing that by pushing the button "test command"



I have similar probs while invoking the tool SetACL.exe from a post-processing command batch. The details regarding those probs I will report within next days. Here details regarding issue with SetACL tool:
Post-processing command invokes a batch, the batch comprises following line
c:\windows\System32>SetACL.exe -on "\\KRZYDU-PC01\Z$" -ot file -actn list -lst "f:sddl;w:d,s,o,g;i:y;s:b" -bckp "zdrv_acplbckp.csv"

Following error is being produced
ERROR: Reading the SD from <\\?\UNC\KRZYDU-PC01\Z$> failed with: The data area passed to a system call is too small.

SetACL finished with error(s):
SetACL error message: A privilege could not be enabled

No probs if running this code by pushing "test command" button.


The tool author claims following regarding this situation:
"This happens if you instruct SetACL to read and/or write from/to the SACL and the privilege SE_SECURITY_NAME could not be enabled. This privilege is also called SeSecurityPrivilege and is required to access SACLs.

Either make sure the user account SetACL is run from has the privilege or, when listing permissions, do not list the SACL's contents."

So pre-, post- commands doesn't seam to have sufficient privileges.
