Hi
I need to redirect Windows logs folder by mklink command but before creating a link the source folder must be deleted and when I using rmdir command, it reports access denied. To solving this problem I have to change folders permission manually. But I need a command to change it from command prompt before calling rmdir command. I found icacls to changing folder security options but I do not know how set parameters because it is complex command.
Please help
Following is my batch file to redirect some Windows directories:
@ECHO OFF
CLS
ECHO *******************************************************************************************
ECHO * This file applies some settings that improves the system performance *
ECHO * and increases SSD life span *
ECHO *******************************************************************************************
ECHO.
PAUSE
ECHO {************ Creating directories redirection ************}
:: Set redirection path to this variable
SET REDIR_PATH="D:\SysRedirection"
IF EXIST "%REDIR_PATH%" (RMDIR /S /Q "%REDIR_PATH%")
:: Logs
SC stop "EventLog"
CALL :Redirect "C:\Windows\Logs", "%REDIR_PATH%\WinLogs"
CALL :Redirect "C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles", "%REDIR_PATH%\Sys32Logs"
CALL :Redirect "C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs", "%REDIR_PATH%\EventLogs"
SC start "EventLog"
ECHO {************************** Done **************************}
