Greetings all - hope there's some nuggets put there for me - I'm approaching the end of the road on this one.
(2x 10.3.6 Servers and 25x 10.3.6 Clients)
I have a situation where a client will copy a file from the server, work on it and then copy it back... normal stuff. However, (randomly it seems) client may well get a warning popup saying, in essence, that the server file is NEWER than the one about to be copied - plainly wrong. OK, so cancelling the operation and retrying again, produces the 'correct' error - ie. you're about to overwrite a file of the same name. What gives? It's like the Finder is catching up the second time round? Or is it NTP?
I've tried this:
NTP is set to our firewall - console says it's updating, Terminal recognises that it's Stratum3 and gives various delay and Offset times (milliseconds!!), so I think I'm pretty happy there. (BTW: when a client complained about this, whilst on the phone, I sang out the server time and he confirmed that it was accurate on the client).
As far as 'Finder caching' is concerned, I've read various posts and note the programming error on this. I've tried various freewares - 'Nudge', 'Windows Updater' - but 'Finder fresher' is the current fav (it certainly refreshes the cache promptly), but reports are that it's not helping.
I spoke to Apple, who seemed unwilling/unable to provide any further indepth info - has anyone got any ideas? Appreciate your time.
