Shared Excel/Word files corrupting/becoming read only on 10.9.1 Server, 3.0.2
I've had a few users reporting strange errors this past week since updating to 3.0.2.
When trying to open some MS Excel or Word files that are stored on a network share, the files will open only as read only or give a file corrupt error. I thought that this may be related to possible client network disconnects (thought the clients aren't reporting any) and the hidden lock files that MS Office creates for docements not getting deleted. I am able to open the files without issue on the server and save the files with a differnet name (ie version_b) and then users can open the files again. After showing hidden files in Mavericks, I'm not seeing these hidden lock files after users exit word or excel, but if I change the name of the saved (working) file back to the original and replace the orignal, once again it's unable to be opened.
These errors are occuring over both afp and smb connections, but only on client machines running 10.8.5 and 10.7.5. I've not noticed this issue on any 10.9.1 machiens that we have in service.
I've also double checked folder and file permissions, and repropigated, and all looks to be fine there.
Has anyone come across anything like this before?
Thanks!
