No, we cannot disable the antivirus there - it is against the corporate policy.
The existing production server works fine with the same antivirus.

>>Hi All,
>>
>>Our Application Support came to me to ask what could be wrong. We have a big FP 2.5 DOS app which works for about 8-9 years. They decided to test it on the new server. It is Pentium 3 dual processor 1 Ghz machine with 512 mb RAM running Windows 2000 Server, and the data are located on Compaq Storage Area Network.
>>
>>What happens is that sometimes (often enough) they get Error 1705 - File Access is Denied (all tables, naturally, are shared). Restarting the workstation does not release the file, only rebooting the server helps.
>>
>>All application settings (config.fp and .nt, etc.) are identical to those on the running production server, which is Pentium single processor 333 MHz, Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3. All production data are located on local drives on this server.
>>
>>Anybody have any ideas? Could it be related to dual processor configuration?
