Executables on network share / Windows 2008 R2


hi !

picture this:

- windows 2008 r2 server (call him srv1) network share called "file_share$"
- native application .exe on share (call test.exe)
- application can reached under \\srv1\file_share$\test.exe
- windows 2008 r2 server (call him srv2) enabled remote desktop services.

now users on srv2 accesses \\srv1\file_share$\test.exe.

a new version of test.exe installed \\srv1\file_share$\test.exe.
works if test.exe not longer accessed process.
administrator tells user quit application.
but some users has disconnected there sessions , had not quit application.
administrator closes open file sessions on srv1.
able copy new test.exe on share.

and magic: if user reconnects there rdp sessions, old application still running.
if user startes application on srv2 \\srv1\file_share$\test.exe
not new test.exe srv1, open cached old version on srv2.
if take on opened files on srv1 not see acces test.exe.

in windows 2003 closing file session ends in crashes - closed - application.

a similar problem reported @ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winserverts/thread/96d1ec5d-13c8-4304-840e-e26e2f24c046

any ideas control new behavior of server 2008 (r2) ?


seems local cache issue. whether still exists if user logoff , logon?

please have try on clear cache in "c:\users\<account>\appdata\local\microsoft\terminal server client\cache" folder.
