Hullo Robert -
here's my SWAG (Scientific Wild @ss Guess)
Given:
1. That backup program is mostly brain dead when it comes to handling open
files.
2. AD runs as a service and can be stopped either interactively or
programmatically via WSH.
3. When AD is not running, the files it uses are not open.
Then:
1. set up a WSH file to stop AD service
2. launch your backup program
Give it a shot, lemme know how it works?
Mondo Regards [Bill]
