On a windows server, you can't update files that are in use. Allan

We run 5 TF2 servers and the thought of having to only run one update as well as saving on our resources was a pretty sexy idea. So, I took three of the five and launched them from one set of files. I created unique server.cfg files for them as well as unique mapcycle.txt and pointed to unique MOTD files and after a few initial kinks, they have been running swimmingly. The only problem we seem to have is during updates. We update one of the three servers via TCAdmin and then restart the other two. Everything seems to be working fine. the versions all change to the correct version, the correct config files are firing, etc. but for some reason, the update does not always take. For example, during the last update, the "Fixed the Gunboats absorbing damage from the Soldier's grenade kill taunt" did not take. We kept testing it and the Soldier was still immune. The only thing we could do to fix it was to delete the .dll file, run the update again, and then restart all the servers. This was the second time we have had to do this and it seems to work, but it is driving me nuts because it does not make any sense to me. The only thing I can think of is that we should stop all instances of the servers running of the server files, then update one of them and then restart them all.
