    Hi,

    I have a problem with the SMB server in Lion. The configuration is as followes:

    – Server: Lion Server (10.7.1) on Mac Mini
    – Clients: Mixed, WinXP/Vista/7, 10.6/10.7

    Problem:

    Vista client have a problem with the SMB shares on Lion.
    When I add for example a new folder, in explorer the folder shows up as “ew Folder” instead of “New Folder”.
    When I try to change the name of the created folder, Windows report it can’t find the folder. When I refresh the explorer, the foldername is correct.

    It also occurs when creating new files, change files, etc.
    It only happens on the Windows Vista client, on Windows XP/7 I have no problems with it.

    I can reproduce the problem. On a clean install of 10.7 server and Win Vista the problems exists.

    I am having similar problem too
    Anything Vista do it create a weird name, even can’t copy properly, but after pressing refresh it is fine.

    Do you have WinXP client?

    Mine can see the drive but can’t connect to it

    cheers
