*I have four macs that use a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine to share files as part of their workflow, each user has their own folder and completed jobs are dropped in an archive folder when complete. Each user has an AD account administered by a separated Domain Controller.
The mac users are having issues moving and renaming files that they created. They can create, delete and edit the files ok and sometimes they can move and rename but sometimes they can't. Any ideas?*
Edit: On further investigation, it's not permissions it's file locking. Some programs including preview or opening files (assuming locking them) and not releasing. Killing all the programs or remounting the share sees to working but it's a workaround that's not really acceptable to the users.

Make sure you propagate the permissions from the top of the share down. Take note to which folders have permission issues and investigate if the permissions are set correctly. I usually find it best to remove all parent permissions and start from scratch on a root shared folder.
