This is March 2014 and we are still experiencing the same problems described above after upgrading all Macintosh in our environment to Mavericks 10.92 . We are using a Windows 2012 server as our file server and have experienced problems with dropped connections on a nightly basis. We are also troubled by folder permision issues regarding renaming folders and moving folders on the Windows share. It is very easy to duplicate. Create a parent folder and a 2 sub folders inside each other. Put files in the lowest level sub folder and the close and reopen the folders. Now try to move the 3rd level folder to the first level. You will get a MacOSX authorization dialogue box. Even after putting in the right cridentials, it will not allow you to move the folder or rename the folder.
Do the exact experiment on a windows environment, window client to windows server and there not any issue with renaming or moving the folders, unless a mac user opens and using the folder, then both clients begin having permission problems. Some how the Macs are not releasing control over the folders propertly, and it is "locked" after a mac user touches it.
Both the mac users and the pc users have full permission to the Windows share in question, and this problem has occured on multiple folders, even when accessed by the same user from both a mac and a pc, running windows 7.
My only solutions has been to move to ExtememZ-ip which uses AFP and not SMB2. Since installing ExtremeZ-ip I have not had problems moving and renaming folders.
I am currious if others have found the same problems and what their solutions are?
Thanks.
Mike
