We have a Windows file server that contains a .csv file that is updated the same time every weekday morning. Unfortunately, since this scheduled update was created by a former employee a long time ago without documentation, we have been unsuccessful finding out what is overwriting the file.
Here is what we have dug into to try to answer this question (without success)
- File properties and histories
- Task Scheduler for the file server in question
- Task Scheduler for the local PC that uses the file
- Event Viewer for the file server in question
- Event Viewer for the local PC that uses the file
- Both SQL Servers and their Task Schedulers/Event Viewers (since this .csv is updated using SQL records)
Any assistance you can provide to help me investigate what/who is updating this file would be greatly appreciated. It has been a challenge to find any forum posts on the Internet that discuss this and give a clear answer. I will, of course, update this post if I happen to find a solution.
