System file protection would not strip the ACL from the file. It could be
Group Policy, it could be a security template that is being pushed out by
an administrator
You can check the SFC entries by examining this log file:
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
