Environment
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Support Pack 1 - ZCM 11 SP1 Bundles
Situation
Trying to delete a directory using a "Create/Delete Directory" action.
Directory has been flagged read-only by using "attrib +R {directory}" (marking read-only using folder properties inWindows explorer does not do the same thing, that only flags files).
Error (in zmd-messages.log: in this example the directory that should be deleted is "C:\temp\ro-system")
[DEBUG] [12/09/2011 14:55:45.416] [1932] [ZenworksWindowsService] [15] [Shaun] [GenericActions] [] [Directory C:\temp\ro-system is not empty and will not be deleted. Exception = System.IO.IOException: Access to the path 'C:\temp\ro-system' is denied.
