Running this on windows server 2016. Running normally will run fine, but then i run into the issue of access denied. I saw here that people had success by running FFS as admin, but i can't seem to do that. I open as admin and the spinner pointer just stays spinning.. same with the realtime sync. The folder that I am working on is redirected folders. (in the process of moving this folder to a new server). At the moment i am using robocopy to do that, but it would be nice if I could do it through FFS.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I was able to open FFS as admin by running it from the program files folder. Can't do it from desktop shortcut. Anyways, the compare function works.. however when its time to mirror/sync the data over, i get errors (Cannot read permissions of "file_path" access denied) [GetFileSecurity]
Run as Admin - FFS does not open

Given the Error and Warning in your pictures, the Admin-user credentials you are now running FFS under, does not seem to have write-access to one or more of the mentioned folders.
