How to close open files on server - PSFile?

[speaktek]

Re: Sever 2003

To prep for backup, I'd like to execute a batch file automatically to close files related to a specific program. I looked as PSFiles, but can't get the syntax right?

Any help appreciated...thanks!

What have you tried? Post some examples, and maybe we can see the incorrect syntax.

Usage:
psfile [\\RemoteComputer [-u Username [-p Password]]] [[Id | path] [-c]]

Here's what I tried:
psfile server2 d:\Program Dir\* -c

What I'd like to do is shutdown all files associated with one program. This would be executed locally/automatically.

If you use the Exchange server agent you don't need to do this.

The files to be closed are not on the Exchange server, or related to email...

Ah, so your question was posted into the Exchange server forum as a red herring then?

Ah...sorry 'bout that. Will repost...
