That's what I thought. You are correct on INUSE, it flags replacement for
the next reboot.

A file that is in use cannot be replaced unless it's closed first ! I
suspect inuse.exe makes use of the movefile API call which will try and do a
normal file copy operation first, if that fails it flag's up to the OS to
replace the file at the next system reboot !!!
Even a Domain Admin cannot replace a file that is in use ! You must track
down the sources of usage and stop all of them accessing the file before you
can replace it without a reboot....

If this works let me know, I came across it but have had no reason to use
it.
Would like to know how it works out for you

Subject: [THIN] OT: Replacing an open file
I have a script that runs that is used to update a file on a network share.
I'm running into a problem when this file is being accessed. The
information in the file is read-only, so I don't care if it's open when
replacing the files, except that it halts the script. How can I force the
copy to take place even if the file is open? The creditials being used
doesn't/can't have domain admin rights or admin rights on the server where
that the share is located on. Is this even possible? Thanks in advance.
Brian
