We have a Windows 2008 R2 running in Hyper-V. Within this instance we have a "Data" partition. There a number of random folders with locks appearing on this drive partition. Inside each of these folders is a folder named Sandbox, where are these coming from and how can I stop them? We have two other servers setup exactly the same and this isn't happening on those servers. Thank you.

Is it Kaspersky? http://support.kaspersky.com/kis2010/protectionappcontrol?qid=208280377 Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional -Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Hi, As Dave mentioned, you may have an antivirus application installed, if so, please try to disable it to see whether you get the same issue. By the way, you can boot the computer into Safe Mode to see whether you get the same issue. Best Regards, Vincent Hu

No, no antivirus on this server. However, I found the time stamp on each of these folders was the same, around 10 a.m. each day. I looked through the event logs and found this on the days the folder(s) are created. Initiating changes for package WindowsUpdateClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX-Package. Current state is Installed. Target state is Installed. Client id: WindowsUpdateAgent. Windows Update is completely turned off on this server. Suggestions?

Hi, Windows Update is completely turned off on this server. >> It is recommend that you turn on the Windows Update to make your computer get the latest updates. By the way, I suspect that there are some virus on your computer, you may try to scan your computer with anti-virus to see whether there are any issues. Best Regards, Vincent Hu
