Title: Error Code: 32
Post by Jason on Dec 22^nd, 2015 at 4:27pm

This task has been running flawlessly for years. Suddenly it's giving me an Error code 32 and failing.

<snip>
: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

I've disabled the antivirus on the server to troubleshoot but no change. Can't think of anything else that may be "accessing" this file. I can move it manually with no issues.

Help!

try this:
on your server, open "MMC". Add Snap-In "Shared Folders" for that server.
Open that Snap-In and chose "opened Files". There you can see which process will lock your file. (I do not have a English system, so the exaxt words could be different).
If it doesn't help, download Microsoft ProcMon (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals/processmonitor.aspx) and look for the process locking this file.

Thanks Dirk...

I added that snap in which looks very helpful. Didn't see anything accessing the file or folder in question.

However when I tried my process again, it suddenly worked.

I'll keep this snap in handy for troubleshooting when it fails again. Thanks..
