I've found the root of some of my earlier problems with the server locking up to some extent, but I don't know why.
There is a shared Excel file on the server that is updated on a daily basis by one of the employees. There are very similar Excel files that also get updated with no problem. When this one particular file is saved, it locks everyone out of the shared folder. Additionally, with the exception of one or two workstations, I can't see any other workstations from my own. I can see all workstations from the server.
The solution so far has been to reboot the server after business hours. Unlike the other Excel files, when I try to view the properties on the suspect file, the screen locks up until I crash out of that window.
Does anyone know a way I can break the connection to this file to get the system running properly again without a reboot?
