we have some pretty old Windows XP controlled milling machines (HURCO's). Until recently they were accessing their program files (XML based) from a Windows Server 2012R2 file share.
The physical server the share is located on, is to be decommissioned, so I've copied the data to a Windows Server 2019 VM with the SMB1.0 feature installed.
Since changing the machine tools to point their mapped drives to the new Windows 2019 server, they've been experiencing difficulties accessing their programs, getting a fairly generic "operating system error". If I look at one of the programs they are trying to open / save over and try and change the filename or delete it from the server I get an error telling me the program is in use by "System".
If I check in Open Files I can see (this time but not always) the file is opened for read (at least twice) with no locks against it.
I appreciate this is pretty obscure but I'm at a loss to know how to proceed.
We can't upgrade the Machine tools operating system as it would cost £1000's
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
