Here is a link that pretty much describes exactly what is happening in my environment:

One of the participants recommends disabling SMB 2 on the Windows Server as a fix, but I'd rather not do that.

Has there ever been a real solution discovered for this problem?

Clients = Windows 7 Pro x64, Office Standard 2010 x64

File Share = Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 R2 SP 1

Sounds like it could be a permission issue or a connectivity one.

We have almost 1,000 Windows 7 clients constantly saving to a 2008 R2 Enterprise SMB share without issue.

If you want a more detailed answer, you're going to need to post relevent event log entries and/or procmon traces.
