These resources include the template, file, remote_file, cookbook_file, directory, and remote_directory resources. When using a SID, you may use either the standard string representation of a SID (S-R-I-S-S) or one of the [SDDL string constants](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/sid-strings). + ## Ohai Improvements - Ohai now uses the same underlying code for shelling out to external commands as Chef Infra Client. This may resolve issues from determining the state on some non-English systems. |
