Cannot setup Service Fabric Local Cluster manager

Question

I am trying to install and run Service Fabric Local Cluster Manager. When I try to "Setup Local Cluster", I get the following error:

>> TerminatingError(): "Exception calling "SetAccessRule" with "1" argument(s): "This access control list is not in canonical form and therefore cannot be modified.""

This access control list is not in canonical form and therefore cannot be modified.

Can someone help me in resolving this? I have tried uninstalling (with deleting the registry) and installing it. The issue still persists.

Hello @Mehul ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

This error message suggests that the access control list (ACL) for the folder specified in the "PathToClusterLogRoot" parameter is not in a canonical form and cannot be modified.

One possible solution is to try running the script again with a different folder specified for the "PathToClusterLogRoot" parameter.

Another solution is to check the permissions on the folder specified in the "PathToClusterLogRoot" parameter and ensure that the account running the script has the necessary permissions to modify the ACL.

You can also try running the script as an administrator to ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify the ACL.

Please let me know in your comments if you would like to discuss this further or got any other questions
