First here is the environment: Windows SBS 2003 not running ISA with
AFP and SMB shares enabled. Domain enabled and working properly as a
.local internal DNS. 10-15 OS X clients running the active directory
plugin loggin in and authentication to the domain just fine. Able to
access all shares properly and we're auto mounting the shares via an
apple script which I wrote. However, from time to time client mac
machines will all of a sudden get have a problem modifying/deleting
files off of those SMB shares (I don't think it happens through AFP).
they will get the following error when trying to delete a file: "The
operation cannot be completed because the item <ITEM NAME> is in use."
or when trying to modify they will get: "file is in use"
We've verified that the file FOR SURE is not in use by anyone else but
the user at hand on all instances. This is happening on a regular
basis for most client machines. I've already checked share
permission's, the "read only" box and more. And what's weird about it
is, it is just random.
The quick fix seems to be to reboot and then the problem temporarily
goes away only to come back a short time later. This client of mine is
a Marketing and Advertising company which cannot afford to stop in the
middle of something to reboot just to save and or modify a file.
Another problem, which I'm not sure if it's related or not is when
opening an Excel file through Office 2004 from time to time, the user
cannot save the file. It will throw some error about not being able to
save it and it renames the file and saves it as a temporary file name
in which they can go in and re-save that file to what they wanted.
Again, this problem is random as well.
I sure hope someone can help with these problems, because I am at a
complete loss. This is what happens when MCSE people try to invade the
MAC world
thank you in advanced...
