STATUS_REDIRECTOR_HAS_OPEN_HANDLES
The network redirector still owns active remote handles
The redirector cannot be unloaded or detached while remote files, directories, printers, or connections are still represented by open handles. The condition protects live objects from losing the transport and redirector state that services their I/O.
Find the owners before forcing closure. A mapped drive can appear idle while a service, current directory, directory enumeration, printer connection, or background process still holds a handle. Forcing the transport down can invalidate application state and lose buffered writes, so it should be reserved for controlled recovery.
What to inspect
- Enumerate open files, directory handles, printer handles, and mapped connections.
- Identify the owning processes and close them through their normal shutdown path.
- Flush remote writes before using any force-disconnect option.
