Hello,
I'm running into an issue with a Windows 2008 R2 (with SP1) server sharing a folder.
Recently, I've started having problems with some of the files in one of the fileshares getting locked. I was able to determined using Process Monitor that the locking process is the system process (ID: 4).
I can try to end the handle using process monitor, but I get an error that the handle is invalid. I've verified in the File and Storage manager that none of the files are open by users. I've even manually closed all the sessions on the folder and unshared it, but the locks stay in place.
I've disabled the antivirus (ESET) on the server, but the issue remains. The only way to get the files to unlock is to reboot the server. I've even tried unsharing the shared folder, I am able to unshare it, but the lock stays in place.
The issue seems to start at some point after the file is created, as I can often get a copy of the file from a prior volume shadow copy.
Any help or suggestions on the issue are appreciated!
Thanks
