PSexec net files with the server as a target. But the script would need creds on the server. Or Sysinternals PSFile will do it remotely too.

It works fine, apart from when I log out, the .vhdx file on my file server is still locked in use by the SYSTEM process (the actual machine account for the client MACHINENAME$ shows as the user with the file open). This means that when the user logs back in, it fails to mount the User Profile Disk and gives me a temporary profile instead. Restarting the client device doesn't release the lock, but closing the open files through Computer Management on the file server does. Once the handle to the .vhdx file is closed, the user can log back in and get the assigned User Profile Disk without issue. So I'm wondering how I could run a script at user logoff that releases the file lock on the server? Last time I tried anything like that I was using the net files command - but that would have to be invoked on the file server end, so probably a non-starter. Anyone have any ideas or insight?
