    CRAZY!!!

    i thought i was the only one with this problem!

    i have been working on this for a while and finally narrowed it down. i believe its a mix of updates and upgrades…

    my accounts/servers/performance were not a problem for months… until i reimaged and upgraded!

    all your issues i have experienced….

    my severs were going up to 700%… yes! i have screen shots!!

    during the times of 10.5.4-10.5.6 everything was fine. However i upgraded the servers 10.5.8 and the imaged my clients with newest safari and firefox and my problems occurred. It has to be safari…

    do not localize the prefs… its the cache folder.

    redirect the cache folder to local and your network will be back to normal….
    but…

    NOW I HAVE THIS PROBLEM…

    “word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the desitnation volume”

    this is the directly correlated to the fix. many people have experienced that issue and im trying to work out the kinks as i write.

    Hello.

    Here is my quick two cents…
    I do a netboot image and works all the time unitl 10.6.2(i jumped from 10.5.8 to 10.6.2)

    I create from a “master imac”… a machine that i cherry out with all updates and my settings/apps.

    Automated INSTALL(with a specific hard drive name) DOES NOT WORK on 10.6.2 as of right now….

    APPLE KNOWS THIS AND IS WORKING ON THIS(that has been told to me by an apple engineer)

    i have stopped my auto installs because i dont like being right at the computer to choose the destination hard drive.

    However… it works if you choose the AUTO install with “selected by user” is set.

    please fix!

    Nice post.

    I have my site with 1000 plus users, running office 2008 “pre-patch” on 10.5.2

    Have not seen any of those issues at all.. however… i remember this from office 2004 and office x…

    Permissions!

    If you look in the applications folder and get info on the office 2008, 2004 or x folder you will notice permissions for three groups. You have to make everyone have read and write… every user other than an administrator(who has read and write) after they quit or save, a prompt will come up asking if you want to save the global temp file, “normal”. That will not happen with you change that folder permissions to read and write(for everyone: staff, everyone, and admin).

    I did the same for 2008. The only problem i dont like with 2008 is that it makes you create an identity and asks every user if they want to submit feedback…

    Also, that “copy in use” might be a serial number problem…

    This has nothing to do with network homes, all thats being saved to the network is the identity and user prefs… Not the actual app.

    Hope this helps….

    Hmmm

    I managed mine in the computer lists and was recieving problems because of a typo. Its kinda hard to help out when im not really infront of the machine.

    Have you tried clearing the cache files on the managed computers?

    i go in and delete in the main hd, the library cache files and the system cache files. do a secure empty trash and then a reboot.

    i then will click update sftware and if it doesnt catch your server, i quit and restart the software update.

    You might want to redo your list also.
