Problem with Locked Files

by efmooney . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

I am having an issue with locked files on a Windows 2003 Server. Consistently files become locked as open even though they are not. I know how to kill the locked files on the server, but this is happening way too much for that to be a feasible resolution. I believe what is happening is that during the creation of a file, something interrupts the network connection, the user gets an error message, and is kicked out of the file. Now the server thinks the user is still in the file, so the user cannot access it. I am really not sure how to proceed. I figured that there may be issues with the network (esp since some of worktations are wireless), but this is happening from multiple workstations. I was thinking it could be the switch, but do not have an easy way to test this.

So, just looking for maybe a little advice on a direction to go forwared with. Any help is tremendously appreciated.
