I am having an issue with lock files in Windows 2003 Storage Server. We use AutoCad which sometimes crashes for whatever reason. When this happens the lock files are not removed as they are when the app is closed normally. These files (*.dbl) cannot be removed at this point. I tried the removal from the network and from the console using exporer and dos. The only way that I have been able to remove these files is rebooting. By the way this is a NAS which is accessed all of the time so rebooting almost out of the question. Upon attempting to delete i get a message "Access denied: Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not in use." The app is not installed on the server nor does anyone have these files open and the disk is far from it's capacity. I have also tried granting the administrator account ownership of the file. Any ideas of how to correct this? I also noticed that this is not limited to just files created by AutoCAD.
Thanks in advance
