Thanks I'm not certain at this point that AV is the culprit. I'll try the migrate suggestion. Thanks.

AV usually runs a scan on a binary and can keep a lock on the file for
a while. The most I've seen is 5 minutes -ish but it depends on the
hoops an AV goes through with new binaries on a system, as well as how
it locks and unlocks files.

Another possibility is Meterpreter didn't let go of it after the
upload. Happens on rare occasions for me but migrating and killing the
process I was in usually mitigates that issue.

So I've identified boxes which use a default local Admin account.
I psexec into a box with those creds and am presented with a meterpreter
shell  sweet
I upload wce.exe
drop to a shell and attempt to execute it, I'm presented with this error:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process.
I try to delete wce.exe and get the same error.

I guessed that AV is blocking me.

I get back on the same box the next day I drop to a shell, I can execute
wce.exe just fine and then delete it just fine.

Does anyone know what happened here? AV is the only explanation I can think
of. I've been googling this for days now….
