Osquery uses basic SQL commands to leverage a relational data-model to describe a device.

osquery

Hello,

I have an issue with Windows permission. I followed the documentation instruction but it hasn't worked. I obtain the following error when executing `osquery_utils.ps1`:
```
Exception when calling "RemoveAccessRule" with arguments "1": "Some or all identity references could not be converted."
```

The code which fails is (lines 73-79):
```
    $acl = Get-Acl $target

    # First, to ensure success, we remove the entirety of the ACL
    $acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($true, $false)
    foreach ($access in $acl.Access) {
      $acl.RemoveAccessRule($access)
    }
```
I think it's due to osquery_utils try to remove permission to ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES and it fails.

Also, I think the permissions are correct.
I have disabled the inheritance and the only ones have permissions are SYSTEM, Administrators and ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES.

I have Windows Server 2019 and Osquery 4.0.2.

The fact to change permissions is due I have obtained the error ` osqueryd has unsafe permissions: C:\Program Files\osquery\osqueryd\osqueryd.exe`

I already wrote about it: <https://osquery.slack.com/archives/C08V7KTJB/p1571911570146100>

Could you help me?
