Users are blocked from opening files

I am running an intranet server with WIndows server 2008 on it.
2 days ago the power went down and when the ups ran out of power so did the server. Some of my coleagues restarted the server since it was blocked and since it blocks almost at 2 hours. Users can browse folders from the shared files, but when they try opening
the files (mostly excel files) they get stuck.
Did anyone else have this problem? I need to know how to fix it.

Hi,
Is there any error message when you access the shared files? Please open the Shared Folders snap-in in mmc, and then find the Open Files in the Shared Folders to check if there is any session opens the shared files.
Shared Folders includes the Open Files that shows the files on the system that are currently open and shows you which users have the files or folders open.

Can user be blocked from doing File/save to existing query?

Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well...
It's a long story... I was wondering if a user can limited to just doing a File/Saveas and blocked from doing
a File/Save (updating query in place)
your ideas and advice are appreciated, tx, sandra

Hi,
There is no supported way of doing this. However, you can add a database trigger to the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table that will raise an error if the use attempts to update the document.

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

Hello,
We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
file.
I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

Hello Bria,
What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items:
User
Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Prevent access to specified drives in My
Computer
There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

Some users are experiencing difficulty opening certain docx files sent as email attachments. These files contain content controls to protect data in the document. Could someone please confirm that the content controls are the reason the files won't open.

These files open correctly when sent as doc files.

Actually, the stuff works in interpreted mode.
It's only when having the server partition compiled that this happen.

Hi Jean-Paul,
As described in the Technote 10981 some Forte programs (Nodemanager and
router) handle correct the high-file descriptor-use problem. It is possible
that Forte interpreter do it correct too.

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does Snow Leopard Server File Sharing (AFP) provide similar features?

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does File Sharing (AFP) on Snow Leopard Server provide similar services?

Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
Thanks for any help

Few Users are unable to open reports from workspace

Hi ,
Few users are nt able to open reports from workspace. Can anyone let em know what all privalleges we need to give for the users who want to open reports.
Thanks in Advance

In general if a user can see a report and cannot open, this should be related with the application security that the reports' grid is connecting.
If opening request from users are failing with an error, please paste the error here,
Sometimes reports may be open with blank pages or no data, make sure users have necessary access to data...easy way to check this, connect to application and try to retrieve data from application, Lets say your report grid is connecting to Essbase, try if you can retrieve same grid from essbase excel add-in.
Good Luck,
Ahmet

Urgent user blocked from publishing file

a client of mine uses contribute to edit their website. I had
to make changes to the website, so I went in and did the changes.
Now the client says that they are blocked out by MY name.
Does anyone have any clue how to fix this??? I have never
used contribute. I didn't even use it for this website edit. I just
used dreamweaver to make the changes to the css and to the layout
of the website.... did i really screw it up?

You didn't screw up....
It's just that Dreamweaver and Contribute can work together
in managing the content of a website. My guess is that by edting
the files through Dreamweaver and uploading them to the server, you
didn't 'check in' the files. This means that there are probably
.lck files on your server that are related to the files you edited
through Dreamweaver. These .lck files mean that the files are
'locked' for editing by anyone else but you.
You can do two things to solve this.
1:
When you set up Dreamweaver to work with Contribute, you can
use the Check In option. By checking in the files you edited, you
will remove the .lck files. When you check the files out to edit
again, there will be new .lck files created, that will be removed
after checking in again.
- You can do this by going in the main menu to: Site, Manage
Sites, Pick the right site and click Edit
- Click on Contribute at the bottom of the list and enable
Contribute compatability
2:
If you don't want to do this you can manually remove the .lck
files by using a ftp-program or the ftp-functionality of
Dreamweaver.
I would recommend the first option when you and your client
work together on this site regularly.

All of the Users are missing in the File Sharing Prefs

I was trying to straighten out an issue I was having with accessing my wife's iMac. She has access to mine. So then I gave up and was trying to save a Word doc to an external drive and it wouldn't work. I checked Prefs and the Users are listed but when I go to File Sharing there aren't any of the Users listed.
Any ideas?

Hi cdohbar,
I will provide you the steps to resolve the issue for Mac operating system .
Please follow the below steps :
Close Creative Cloud Application (up right corner, click on the cog menu and then "Quit Creative Cloud").
From Finder, click Go > Go to Folder at top in Menu bar
Type ~/Library/Application support/Adobe and hit return.
Rename the folders 'AAMUpdater' and 'OOBE' to 'AAMUpdaterOLD' and 'OOBEOLD'.
From the Finder, click Go > Go to Folder.
Type /Library/Application support/Adobe and hit return.
Rename AAMupdater, folder to AAMupdaterOLD
Launch your Creative cloud desktop.
Introduce your CC credentials.
Select install/update applications.
Hopefully it will work for you. If it does, then you can remove the folders that you renamed as <something>OLD.
I assume that for Windows users, the steps are different , if you are using Windows OS, please follow the below steps :
Hold Windows + R key from your keyboard.
It will open into a run window.
In RUN application type: %localappdata%
Next, navigate: \Local\Adobe\OOBE
Rename OOBE as OOBE.old
Then, Navigate to C:Program files/Common files/Adobe(32 bit) or C:Program files(X86)/Common files/Adobe folder.
Rename AAMupdater folder and try signing to Creative Cloud desktop application.
If you face same issue again, please reply back .
