SYMPTOMS
========
After you install Windows NT version 4.0 Service Pack 4 on a workstation or
server, you may receive the following error when you run a script or batch file
that connects to a resource, runs an application, and then disconnects from that
resource:
The device is being accessed by an active process. More help is available by
typing NET HELPMSG 2404.
An example script would be similar to the following:
net use q: \\servername\share
q:
login.bat
c:
net use q: /d
CAUSE
=====
The redirector holds a reference to the File Control Block (FCB) in the cache. A
fix to the Redirector (Rdr.sys) in Service Pack 4 was made to check for open
references before tearing down the session.
