I have a script that uses the ren to rename some directories. The directories are on a map network drive, and this use to work. In the last week or so it started failing with:
Rename-Item : The process cannot access the file because it is being used by an
other process.
Is there any way to force this to rename the directory? I have tried the -force opiton but that doesn't seam to work either.

Also does anyone know of a way to find out who is using this directory?
Thanks

Try possibly using handle.exe to see who/what might have a lock:
