I'd also check to see if there has been any recent security patches put on the server.

The user performing the command doesn't have access to singe past of the effort 2. The file in question I'd in use and cannot be deleted So, to eliminate 2, can you delete the file manually? Too eliminate 1, make sure file/directory permissions are correct On October 26, 2015 12:03:25 PM Joel Sender <jdsen...@earthlink.net<mailto:jdsen...@earthlink.net>> wrote: ** I’ve got a production server that suddenly started getting errors when running an external OS command. The escalation first executes “del /f filename.pdf” and then runs the command to (re-)create filename.pdf. The second command will fail if the file already exists, hence the need for the first command to delete. As of last week, the delete command fails, which causes the second command to also fail, and leave behind an inactive instance. The inactive instances took up all available memory and the server halts. The AR System and Windows logs just show that the two commands fail. Since no changes were made in ARS, I suspect the problem is in Windows. Anyone else see something similar? Environment: ARS 8.1.1 Custom app Windows 2003 server BMC has, thus far, referred me to the OS team. The OS team, naturally, refers me right back to BMC. Can the ARSlist help me break this loop before I go fruity?
