If what I think I found is the cause of this I'm going into the woods to punch dance until I can't feel feelings anymore

Is that the event you are getting when somebody tries to open the locked file?

Yeah. The thing is it's not really locked. It opens a bunch of times perfectly fine but sporadically says it's locked. No one else has the file open. Another thing is I'm using two different version of Excel--BOTH VERSIONS have this happen. They can close it afterwards and then open it perfectly fine. It's not just one file either its any excel files. Driving me nuts

Is it ONLY Excel files? What about Word files?

Word seems fine. I cannot replicate the problem and the user can't either (in word).

Note: This doesn't just happen with one user as well. I am just using one person to test it in addition to my accounts. User has full access permissions to the folder and inherited permissions are on for it. I also removed inherited permissions and applied them manually. Same thing.

Headbutting the concrete due to this file server issue

I find users leave less scarring.

I can't leave anything up to my users

No no no...I mean headbutt them instead of concrete...

@wirestyle22 They have a procedure for this type of thing here, it's called "Throw it in the pond." Good luck, I'll be watching to see the cause/fix.

Sad frowny time

Just curious, have you tried restoring it from the latest backup (change the filename or directory to restore to), and seeing if the restored file has the same issue? Could be something as simple as a corrupted bit in the wrong place.

It's not just a single file it's all files and I'm not sure when this started. I think it most likely has been longer than 7 days (backup tapes). I don't think it's the files themselves.

ML is a bit sluggish this morning. Anyone else noticing?

Fast here

I'm having a weird issue occurring on my file server. Basically when a user accesses an excel file on our file server it sometimes opens it as a read only file (NOTE: This applies to users on the LAN or on replicated domains accessing the same server; No other users have the file open). I thought it was:

1. The Antivirus--which it isn't.
2. Virtual Disk Service--possible issue with the backup, which it isn't.

I'm going through my audit logs and I see something odd. Remember, I'm a novice in comparison to most of you. Anything in bold I edited to be generic.

This below attempt to access was fine.

Q: What dictates intent on a file server? I have never run into this problem until now (I did post about this awhile ago thinking it was fixed).

Can Azure AD do federation? I think there is a saml addon available for ownCloud.

I believe it can base on what I have read

have you seen a guide anywhere? I'm still new to Azure AD.

No guides. I'm still going over your tutorials and reading as much as I can about...basically everything. I have a little bit of insight but that's about it. Sorry! It would be great for me to be able to help you for once

I was getting 38 when I'm expected to get a 40 down line at home. 100+ MB is not common here yet.

This was with all the IPS, gateway AV, content filtering on.

Do you remember the spec of the machine? Mine was a core 2 duo, with 2 dedicated gigabit cards for in/out, though it did have a 32GB SSD.

150 up 150 down here ^_^

I'm wondering what kind of settings I should realistically set as best practices for this sort of thing. Any ideas?

Will the devices travel or live at the office? If they should never leave the site, setup geo fencing.

Lock down installing apps, changing settings, various things.
Setup a list of apps to auto install, enrol in Apple's enterprise app management so you can do it nicely.
There is a warning if jail broken or other things happen.
You can enforce passcodes
Disable Siri, disab camera, allow gaming, fair few settings.

Depends what you want. It's fairly decent.

They are all over the place at every remote site (33 in total).

@wirestyle22 Bummer... Meraki is pretty good for free. The licensing costs beyond 100 devices, however....

As an update to this I've been quoted at $8 per device per year. Looking at multiple products. One thing I haven't seen is removing the app store password requirement on pushed apps only. Is this a thing with any MDM service?
