Persona locking a file

[csledd]

Hey all,

Brand new View 6.0 environment using Persona Management. We have a Microsoft Office add-in that is causing a lot of issues. I have Persona setup for a 10 min interval and I can recreate the issue within 10 mins every time it seems. The problem is when Excel launches and loads the add-in, it edits an XML file, that's just how the add-in works. I am finding that I am randomly getting an error message that the XML file is in use. I thought it was anti-virus and excluded everything under the sun and then completely disabled it and still could recreate the error.

Is it possible that Persona is locking this file somehow when it replicates? If not, any suggestions on what to look at next? Backups don't run on the workstations obviously, but do run on the server the Persona files are stored on but I didn't think that would conflict.

Hi csledd,

Persona doesn't lock any files when replicating user's profile.

You can use procmon.exe utility from Microsoft to see what processes open that file.

Thanks.

I have tried procmon but it's not showing what is locking it, so I assumed it was something outside of Windows

Thank you for ruling out Persona for me though, I will continue to troubleshoot.
