The first thing I checked was for open files and didn't see anyone else having it open except for the user who was modifying it and trying to save it.

Was it the same circumstance in that domain users couldn't save the file yet a domain admin could? We're not seeing any blue screens or weird temp files. -----Original Message----- From: Orland, Kathleen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 6:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: File in use error when trying to modify Another question - AV? I had a similar issue on a W2K3 file server a couple of years ago where users couldn't even edit their own Excel files in their Home drives with the same error message. In addition, the server was blue-screening and creating all kinds of temp files. Turned out to be McAfee. As soon as I upgraded the server to Forefront the problem went away. -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 7:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: File in use error when trying to modify Just a hunch...
