Yes, I plan to address this part along with https://splunk.atlassian.net/browse/INFRA-43925, whoever takes that ticket, I can just copy the solution. Let me comment out this part for now

Did some quick search on it though, cygwin breaking windows file permissions seems to be a common issue. The ansible equivalent module for lineinfile is win_lineinfile , I gave it a try but got some errors, it's expecting to be executed in a Powershell environment (not cygwin). We might need to go as far as creating a powershell script, read icacls permissions, update the file, rewrite back the icacls permissions...
