You receive an error message when you run a Win32 program that makes CreateFile function calls from a Windows XP-based client computer to a serverArticle ID: 918334 On This PageSYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You run a Win32 program that uses the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol to make function calls from a Microsoft Windows XP-based client computer to a server. The program uses the CreateFile function to open a file on the server. In this scenario, when the program tries to open the same file again, you may receive the following error message on the client computer: System error 32. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. System Error, Code= (67) STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION CAUSEThis problem occurs when the Windows redirector uses dynamic reauthentication for the Kerberos protocol. If the Kerberos session ticket expires and is automatically renewed after the first call to the CreateFile function, the redirector does not send a command to the server to close the file. Because the file remains open on the server, you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section. RESOLUTIONHotfix informationA supported hotfix is available from Microsoft.
