I am trying to upgrade all of our Windows 2000 machines
running SP2 and SP3 to SP4 through SMS.

The upgrade starts fine however it bails out on the
following error:
"The file c:\winnt\security\templates\basicwk.inf is open
or in use by another application.

Close all other applications and then click Retry.
"

Does anyone know a work around this or what is the process
or service that has the secuirity template in use? There
are no running applications.

TIA.
