Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • An application in a shared folder is being run by one or more users. Note The application opens a handle to itself when it is being run.

  • You try to rename the application on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

In this scenario, you cannot rename the application. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

The file is in use by another process.

Notes

  • You can perform the same operation successfully after all users close the application.

  • This issue does not occur on a computer that is running Windows XP.

Cause

This issue occurs because of changes that were made in the Redirected Drive Buffering Subsystem (Rdbss.sys) regarding the use of new oplocks and the way it handles references to remote executable files.
