I have been seeing an error in my event logs for some time now and I cannot track it down. The exact error is eventID 51228 in the System event logs on Win 2k3 Server w/ SP2.

I have located this KB article, which has not helped much:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902161At first I thought it was Avast! A/V that may have had a lock on some files because of real-time scanning. I had that removed and the error still occurrs. This is a problem because I cannot make any permanent changes to IIS because of it.
We definitely have sufficient disk space, so that is not the issue. Then I have been trying to use Filemon to identify what process might have a write lock on the metabase.xml file. I have not found anything out of the ordinary, but have a saved Filemon report if it would help for anyone to see that.
Additionally, I located this article:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Q_22556847.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+file+metabas+saveSaw that I also didn't have an encoding="UTF-8" attribute in the header of my file, so I added it and that has also not resolved anything.
