Command to close all open files for: Computer Management > Shared Folders > Open Files

For the batch file version of the command, use the following syntax:

In both cases, this command will appear to return an error because the last line of output from net files is “The Command Completed Successfully” and there is no file ID denoted as “The”.

Note: The Server Service must be running in order for this command to work.
