Update Job Fails If Clients Logged On to Share

APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q147819
SYMPTOMS
A repeating job to update any kind of package distribution job will fail if
there are clients logged on to the share. We currently have no mechanism
for removing and keeping users off of shares while a share is being updated
by Systems Management Server.
CAUSE
The job status remains in retry mode for a week until the job actually gets
marked as having failed. Despooler is unable to copy new files to the
server share because some of the files in the server share were in use by
clients.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Systems Management Server
1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
