Disable Inheritance

The given PowerShell commands are used to disable inheritance of permissions and convert inherited permissions to explicit permissions.

First, the Get-Acl cmdlet is used to retrieve the Access Control List (ACL) for the file at C:\Pets\Dog.txt. This ACL object is then stored in the variable $NewAcl.

Next, the SetAccessRuleProtection() method of the ACL object is used to disable inheritance of permissions and convert inherited permissions to explicit permissions. The first parameter $isProtected is set to $true to prevent inheritance of permissions from the parent folder. The second parameter $preserveInheritance is set to $true to preserve the existing inherited permissions as explicit permissions.

Finally, the Set-Acl cmdlet is used to set the modified ACL object to the file at C:\Pets\Dog.txt. This replaces the previous ACL with the new one that has disabled inheritance and converted inherited permissions to explicit permissions.

$NewAcl = Get-Acl -Path "C:\Pets\Dog.txt"
$isProtected = $true
$preserveInheritance = $true
$NewAcl.SetAccessRuleProtection($isProtected, $preserveInheritance)
Set-Acl -Path "C:\Pets\Dog.txt" -AclObject $NewAcl
