ISCSI Initiator Session Logout

Question

On GREPI02 (W2K3 SP2 x86, iSCSI Initiator 2.08) I can't logout the iSCSI Initiator session on the "Targets" tab and then "Details" button as I get the following error:
The session cannot be logged out since a device on that session is currently being used.
When I attempt this session logout I also get the following System event entries:

Description:
The Plug and Play operation cannot be completed because a device driver is preventing the device from stopping. The name of the device driver is listed as the vetoing service name below.
 Vetoed device: MPIO\DISK&VEN_IET&PROD_VIRTUAL-DISK&REV_0___\1&7F6AC24&1&343934353534303030303030303030313030303334423332303130_________0
 Vetoing device: STORAGE\Volume\1&30a96598&0&Signature2E8F7689Offset7E00Length9FFABCC00
 Vetoing service name: FileSystem\Ntfs
 Veto type 6: PNP_VetoDevice
When Windows attempts to install, upgrade, remove, or reconfigure a device, it queries the driver responsible for that device to confirm that the operation can be performed. If any of these drivers denies permission (query-removal veto), then the computer must
be restarted in order to complete the operation.
User Action
Restart your computer.

I can do this same logout from another W2K3 SP2 virtual machine and it works fine so appears to be something specific to this GREPI02 node.Joe

Hi,
From the Event log, we can find " FileSystem\Ntfs" is trying to prevent your logout. To find out which file was opened, please try this tool:
Handle

Run "handle.exe path-of-iscsi-drive >>handle.txt" and post the result here.
Thanks.
