Hi,

Thank you for your comeback, i appreciate it.

I have seen the problem manifest itself on three different servers:

-The first two are two load balanced web servers. They are HP Proliant
DL580 G2, with dual Intel Xeon-A 2.8 Ghz, with HyperThreading.

-The third and last one is HP Proliant DL380, with a single Intel
Xeon-A 3.0 Ghz, also with HyperThreading.

Have you noticed a handle leak in the w3wp.exe process? I see one in
our web application, but i cannot determine yet if it is related to
Authorization Manager or some other part of the application.

I have also run FileMonitor to check on file system activity. I see the
process, w3wp.exe opening the file (in our case, AzPolicy.xml)
repeatedly without any problem when out of the blue, i get a "Sharing
Violation". But then, it continues to open it with success. I only get
one poor user who gets to see the dreaded error page (cannot open file
because it is used by another process).

Thanks for your help,

Sebastien
