It has nothing to do with the version. Same thing would have happened if you had different named instances of SQL Server But that's the catch. I do have that. I have several machines where I was testing this. A different path also, yet it worked like a charm.

Assuming you are using a new database name and you changed the file location then the restore dialog in the Files section will have displayed two 2 columns. One named 'Original File Name' and an additional 'Restore As' column where you can modify the database file path and file names for the new database. However, before you execute the script or finish the dialog by clicking on OK , ensure that the files you listed in the Restore As portion do not exist on the file system.
As for the error message you are seeing: If the files are in use, then somebody or some system is using them. Use the above script to see if the database files are being used by a different database. I've had this trouble on some SQL servers as well.
When I think I should have exclusive access it will still tell me I don't. If you're absolutely sure you have exclusive access it maybe due to some sort of stupid non intuitive workflow of Management Studio, where you need to put the UI focus on another database that's not the one you are trying to restore.
Make sure there's nothing else running that connects to your DB including webservers etc So here's the real non-intuitive kicker. Once connected, right click on another database that's not the one you want to restore. From the context menu, go to Tasks and restore set all the values that you need to, to restore the database you actually want to restore.
I think this weirdness only happens on some versions of SQL Server or Management studio, which is probably why it only happens to you on some servers. It's one of the most dumbass frustrating feature of SQL studio that took me ages to figure out. To restore a database you need to have Exclusive access to the database. So before restoring you need to check if there are any connections to the database and you need to kill those session.
Now restore the database and it should go fine. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
