I am trying to find a way to identify what users/end points have a file handle open to a file in a DFS-R folder to further troubleshoot an issue. Here is what's happening to provide some background. I have a batch script that copies an access database (.mdb) file into a DFS-R folder each evening. When users log on in the morning, they pull down a copy of the .mdb via a Group Policy Preferences File Operation. (Users only copy the file, no users opens the file from the DFS-R folder. Over the course of a few days, the batch script starts to not being able to copy over the .mdb file to the folder even when it should be able to, e.g. no users touching the file. After reviewing the issue, I discovered using Process Explorer on the DFS server, there are open file handles to the file in question. The file handles are associated with the SYSTEM process. I'm not sure how I can identify what user is the true/calling owner of the handle so I can troubleshoot this further. Anyone have any tips? thanks in advance!
