Image file folder permissions?

Hey... this seems like a pretty basic question but I searched and didn't find anything.
The folder that holds the Starwind image files... what security permissions does it need? I'd like to lock it down as much as possible.

Looking at my lab, where the images are on the root of the E: drive, the permission on one file are:
Code: Select all
PS C:\Windows\system32> fileacl "E:\storage1_1.spspx"
E:\storage1_1.spspx;BUILTIN\Administrators:F
E:\storage1_1.spspx;BUILTIN\Administrators:F[I]
E:\storage1_1.spspx;NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F[I]
E:\storage1_1.spspx;BUILTIN\Users:RX[I]
So given that the only write permissions are Administrators & SYSTEM, I suspect you could remove Users totally and that StarWind runs under the service account.
Have just rolled back my lab - will try it now
Cheers, Rob.

Yup - removed Users from the E: drive and restarted StarWind and all is fine. So just SYSTEM & Administrators I'm guessing...
Cheers, Rob.

Exactly!
