Hmm. The docs suggest that the replace-on-reboot functionality
a) can't work on network drives
b) needs write access to the registry key:
"HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations"
c) may fail if "the System volume is a basic volume [ ... and ... ] the
destination drive or the source drive is located on a dynamic volume"
Any of those apply to you guys?
