Access Denied \\domain\sysvol\domain\policies

Recently started at a company and I'm trying to perform one of my first admin tasks… Creating a group policy to map a drive for a remote office. I've got the group policy configured but when I go to move my script file from the desktop to the location in Sysvol where it's supposed to go I get an access denied error.

This is a production AD server and I don't really want to go about making changes that are going to bring down AD. Any idea why this would be happening? My account is in the Domain Admins group which is in the Administrators group which has full access to this share.

You should be a member of Domain admins, and Group policy creator owners group in Active Directory.
