Re: Robocopy error since migration 2000 -> 2003

Pretty much standard problem with copying shares from the server that
is still involved in working process. I suggest you use something that
would automate copy process of locked files. We're sticked to Secure
Copy by Sciptlogic (http://www.scriptlogic.com/scy). It automatically
retries handling locked files with the periodicity our backup operator
defines himself. From what I've seen, the process is well organized.
Tool doesn't waste the time on brute retrying to copy what's locked by
now. Instead in continues copying what it is unlocked and can be copied
and returns back checking if the file that was skipped is currently
released and can be copied now. Talking more on the specified task, it
also recreates shares on destination. What's a nice addition, it
creates process log at the end of job, so we can see what was done and
when. You can check open file handles with Process Explorer
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx)
or with Unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/).

Hi folks

We want to MOVE the content of a shared folder to another folder. It
has worked fine till we migrated from Windows 2000 Server (SP4) to 2003
R2.

We are receiving now this error message:

ERROR 32 (0x00000020) Deleting Source Directory
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process.

Any idea?
