save files from MAC to a windows share fails Drew Govnyak 04-11-2008

 I have a windows 2003 R2 domain environment in native mode. One of my users
has a windows xp workstation and a mac laptop running Leopard. I have a
shared folder on the server where all domain users have Full Shared and
Modify NTFS permissions. When a user logs on to his XP workstations he does
not have any problems creating new files in the shared public folder on the
server, but when he accesses the same share using his MAC (types
smb://server_ip/share) he gets prompted for his domain user name and
password. After he authenticates, he can open/read any of the files in the
share, but as soon as tries to save/copy any file over 10kb he getts an
error on his mac 'the operation cannot be completed because you do not have
sufficient privileges for some of the items' and copy fails. Files under
10kb get copied from his mac to the shared folder without any errors. Disk
quotas are NOT enabled on the server. Also when the error pops up on the MAC
I don't see any warnings / errors or audit failures on the server.
Installing File Services For Macintosh on the server didn't make any
difference. Disabling Microsoft network server: Digitally sign
communications (always) security policy on the server didn't make any
difference. This problem does not exist if he tries to save any size file
to his XP workstation from his MAC over the network.



Am I the only one with this problem? What would be the next troubleshooting
step?



Thank you very much.

 The windows sharing has not thing to do with Mac sharing. Event you have
created windows sharing and assign proper permission, you also need to
create share for Mac. Also by default the Mac sharing permission is read
only.

I did try MAC shares, but ended up with the same result. I don't think this
is a permision issue. Something else is wrong

Ditto. Exactly the same problem for me using 10.5.2. We are not
alone:

Anyone got any answers to this one or will we all have to wait for
10.5.3
