Wondering why this Dell SMB rep took it upon himself (without asking) to use my reward dollars to send me a monitor I don't want or need. He did it a month ago and sent me a printer. I am sending this one back and demanding a refund.
I'd be reporting him for that... Unless they let you keep the screen and get your credits back.

I'm enjoying a day of rain after several upper 90's days (upper 30's for those not crazy enough to be on farenheit). We don't get much here in CO, and this is a nice change.

More printer issues this morning.
Printers are the bane of my job.
SMBv2/v3 on Windows is apparently mine. . . there are known issues on all sides (from Apple to Windows) of constant file locks for no "known" reason.

We haven't had any substantial rain in Rochester for 2 weeks. I think they've declared a moderate drought for the area today at noon.

I saw your other thread. It didn't mention anything about Macs. I have had that problem for years. I was considering the Acronis software.

With 11 days in the 90's, yes.

Yeah I was just asking generally (thanks for responding. . . ) Short of going back to CIFS what options do we really have. . ?

Is this something that gets installed on the server or the clients?Ah client based.

That's new. I could have sworn it was server based.

So what this solution does is provide me a license to use AFP on my windows server, based on the number of clients that might connect to the server. . .
I'd might as well just use Apple Server in that case. . .

Client based licensing, yes. Server side solution.

How many Macs in your environment?

Macs don't prefer AFP, Macs are SMB based. AFP is for... who knows what.

Enough to force us to have to look at the ∞ pricing if we wanted to go down that route.

You sure it isn't the well known reason? How does the locking happen?

It very well could be, the bulk of our issues come from Apple systems not windows ones (~15K file locks etc) but we've been seeing some Windows systems with <1000 files open as well recently.
