takeown command in SCCM Tasksequence Run command line

Question

Hello,

I am trying to use the below command in "Run CommandLine" in the SCCM Task Sequence. Same command works in the command prompt.

takeown.exe /F C:\Windows.old /R /D Y >>C:\PROGRA~1\Logs\WindowsOldTakeOwnership.log

smsts.log says that Error: Invalid syntax. The value 'Y' cannot be used for the '/D' option.

Please help how do I use the takeown command in task sequence as Run command line

I also tried cmd /c takeown.exe /F C:\Windows.old /R /D Y >>C:\PROGRA~1\Logs\WindowsOldTakeOwnership.log

But it returned the same error

Hi @Boopathi Subramaniam, 

Please remove >>C:\PROGRA~1\Logs\WindowsOldTakeOwnership.log from the command.
