I am trying to edit hosts files on some servers and getting an access denied. I am logging in with the local administrator account and running notepad as an administrator but it will not allow me to save the updated hosts file in the etc folder.
I also cannot save the file elsewhere and copy it to the etc folder; I still get access denied. I have tried to take ownership of the file and also get access denied message. I have other servers that allow editing of the hosts file with my normal domain admin account and no elevated privileges on notepad.
