[Samba] Roaming profiles problem - loading failure

[Andrew Gaffney]

I got the error again. This is the exact text in Windows:


Windows cannot copy file \\omega\profiles\test\Cookies\index.dat to 
location C:\Documents and Settings\test\Cookies\index.dat. Contact your 
network administrator.

DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by 
another process.


I can't seem to find any errors in my logfiles. It looks like its a 
Windows 2000 problem. It happens every few days or so and is usually a 
different file. Anybody have any ideas? I had just logged off as the 
domain user administrator before I tried to logon as the domain user test.
