I am having a weird issue in my scenario, Let me explain you that a little, I have
- A DFS server for REDIRECTED Folders and General shared folders
Then
- I apply (FOLDER REDIRECTION ) GPO for a user / group , they cannot modify anything built on office 2013 suite on the General share folder location
- They can create or delete files from office suite on the General share, but they cannot edit an office suite (word, excel, ppt) file. Although they can edit a WordPad , text file
- But they can edit files using office suite in their “My Documents “folder, which is also located on the same DFS server.
- Permission is set to domain users MODIFY
- When I edit a spreadsheet and try to save it I get message “ Someone else is working on that document , please try again later “ , but actually it’s me only opening no one else .
It is not a security issue, Editing and modify can be done on other documents like WordPad, notepad, AutoCAD etc.
The issue starts after once a computer is added to domain !
Later I gave full permissions to the folder containing the files for a particular user. Sometimes when he logs in he can edit it and save it , sometimes not , it happens simultaneously .
I did all the DFS share to trusted sites . But still no way out .
I am cracking my head on this issue, kindly help
