By removing the server.  I know, brute force.  If a workstation has files 
open and doesn't close them, they are automatically closed when the server 
dismounts the volume.  Which may lead to some corruption.  And is the reason 
the server sends a message out that says the server is going down in xx 
minutes (configurable from 2 to 60); to give folks a chance to logoff 
smoothly.
