preventing a file from being deleting

[kiboost]

Hi,

I'm managing a team network and some people changes some files I don't want they touch for security reasons (mainly config files for some softwares).

I have some exe that runs on all machines for other tasks, so I can ad some check, but I would like to simply and robustly block the file from being deleted.

Sometimes you can't delete a file because it is opened by a software. While annoying, I've tried to fileopen the file but we can still delete it. Of course the file must be readable by the user and its running softwares.

If anyone have any idea, he's wellcome ;-)

If the files is on a network share you can set the NTFS permissions so the file can not be deleted.

Take a look to

#include 'Permissions.au3'

_InitiatePermissionResources()
Dim $aPerm[2][3] = [['Administrators', 1, $FILE_AUTH_USERS_DEFAULT], ['Everyone', 1, BitOR ( $GENERIC_READ, $GENERIC_WRITE ) ]]
$ret = _SetObjectPermissions ( 'c:test.txt', $aPerm )
MsgBox(0,'','Give only read and write access to Everyone and Default access to Administrators' & @CRLF & @CRLF & '_SetObjectPermissions return value : ' & $ret )
_ClosePermissionResources()

Only Admin can delete file, and it can be read and write by everyone.
