STATUS_FILES_OPEN
Open remote files prevent the redirected connection from closing
The caller requested that a redirected drive or transport be closed, but files or directories are still open and the selected force level does not permit Windows to invalidate them. Current directories and background service handles can keep a connection active even when no document window is visible.
Identify the owners and close them normally. Forcing the disconnect can make subsequent I/O fail and can discard unflushed remote data. The Workstation Service protocol explicitly distinguishes ordinary closure from the strongest force level that closes dependent handles.
What to inspect
- Enumerate open handles and mapped connections using the transport.
- Check service working directories and directory enumerations as well as files.
- Flush data and stop owning applications before forcing disconnection.
