Description
Specifies the maximum number of times the Server service repeats an attempted file operation when the request results in a sharing violation error.
The Server service repeats the operation, at a rate determined by the value of the SharingViolationDelay entry, until either the operation is successful or the value of this entry is reached. If a client requests more attempts than the value of this entry permits, then the Server service returns an error. This entry applies to open, rename, and delete file operations.
Note
