Windows file share - temp files

We are currently migrating from Panther Server to Leopard Server.
Mac file server is all working fine and users are happy.
We have 2 PC's in the office who will also work from the file server. During testing I noticed that temporary files were being created by the Windows machines. Normally I would expect these temp files to disappear once the PC application had been closed on the client computer. Unfortunately this is not the case here.
One of the main issues with this is that the temp files are the same file size as the original file. Obviously if this problem is left unchecked I could be left with 100's of MB of temp files all over the place.
On a file called 'test save.doc', having been opened in Word, amended and saved I would end up with the following files.
~$st save
~WRD0000.tmp
~WRD0001.tmp
test save
If anyone can suggest some solutions it would be greatly appreciated.

Just to add to the fine advice so far, sometimes just toggling the View to Column View or whatever it isn't the back will update it.
Wonder if this works in Tiger...

    I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot find TEMP file"

    Seems like some who have tried two devices on the JMICRON IDE port have had trouble. Try without the hard drive and see if you get that error. If that is the case I would try a PATA to SATA converter for your hard drive and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.

  • When opening a sealed file, are the Autosave-File and Temp-Files encrypted?

    Hi, when opening / editing a sealed file (e.g. a MS Word document), are the Autosave-File and Temp-Files encrypted?

    Hello,
    Yes they are. If they weren't, it would be relatively easy to leak an unsealed version of the file. In older versions of the Desktop IRM opened all files in browser, so theIRM Desktop had to encrypt and copy around these files manually. Nowadays, the IRM Desktop is embedded in the Office applications themselves so we leave the temporary file creation to the application but manage the encryption depending on the nature of the file. So the autosave and temp files (where content may reside) are encrypted, but the lock file (which is only for ownership, not content) is not encrypted for example.
    In fact, the autosave/temp files which are encrypted are actually treated as sealed files, so they contain all the metadata fields you would expect. For example, open a sealed document in Word and set the autosave to every minute and make some changes. wait a minute and you'll see the autosave file (which is a .asd) update automatically (the default location is C:\Documents and Settings\<youruserid>\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\). Make a copy of the file and close Word. If you open the file and Select a Program from a List and choose Word you'll see the file open as a sealed document. If you rename the extension to .sdoc or .sdocx (depending on what the original file was), then you can right click Properties and see the metadata is there too.
    Nicely secure.
    Regards,
    Frank.

  • Compile a zip file or temp file or file in memory

    how can I compile a zip file or temp file or file in memory inside my java program? examples please.
    thanks,

    'compile'?
    What language are you compiling? Does the compiler support leaving the output in memory? If yes then you use Runtime.exec(). If no then you will have to re-write the compiler to support that, presuming you can get the source.
    (Of course I am not sure what good that would do you. You would also have to write some other application to use it once it was in memory, since the OS probably isn't set up to do that.)

  • Mac on Windows SMB Share- IDLK files disappearing allowing several users to access the same file

    Hi,
    We have a volume licensing agreement with Adobe and have around 16 Adobe CS6 licenses all used on Macs. The network is based around Windows servers and shares which the Macs connect to via an SMB connection to the server. The issue we're having is that when an InDesign file is opened, sometimes it will not create an IDLK file (or sometimes it will create one but it will disappear seconds later) and it allows several people to view the same file at the same time. Obviously two or more people working on the same file can, will and has caused issues with overwriting documents without knowledge of doing so.
    Has anyone else encountered this or have any ideas as to what might help us resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    When you open a file from a previous version (you'll see converted in
    the file name) there is no CS6 file in existence, yet. Once the file is
    saved as a CS6 file, the lock file is created. The whole procedure is
    designed so that you must make a fully conscious decision to overwrite
    the old version file with a new one.
    This is no different than creating a new document that hasn't been saved
    yet.

  • MAC to Windows Server2008 share renaming files leaving 0 byte original

    Hi all
    We are experiencing a weird issue on our Design studio MACS that are connected to a Windows Server 2008 R2 file server.
    When renaming files, it is leaving behind the original file at 0 bytes, these are generally image files PSDs, Jpgs etc
    It is also intermittently taking a long time when typing the characters and trying to save the change back to the server.
    Has anybody experienced something like this or knows where to start in finding solution?

  • Error while adding file share for File Server role

    I'm getting this error when trying to add a file share on a Server 2012 R2 failover cluster:
    "Unable to retrieve all data needed to run the wizard. Error details: Cannot retrieve information from server. Error occurred during enumeration of SMB shares: WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that

    Despite the message, I can still create the share and it seems to work, but I'm concerned there may be an issue and I'd like to resolve it before putting the service into production. TIA!

    Hi,
    Your error often caused by the WinRM can’t communication to the others node, please confirm all the node “Windows Remote Management” service is running or try to disable your

  • ITunes Library.itl file, and temp files after Time Machine retrieval

    Hi - I messed up a playlist and got it back fine using Time Machine, but I'm left with temp files as well as iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml files on my desktop (that's where I placed the needed file for playlist re-import).  Can't delete them, can't move them....what do I do with them?!  Thanks in advance for any guidance.

    Thanks, but with iTunes closed, I get this when I try to delete.

  • Reciever File Adapter - Temp File Name Scheme using Variable Substitution

    How can I create a temporary file that uses variable substitution? 
    We are having a problem with files merging when we write files using the "Use Temporary File" setting on the FIle Adapter.  So two independent files are merging into a single file.  We are not using the "Append" setting.
    We would like to use a Temp File Name Scheme that would append the message id onto the temporary file name. 
    Using variable substitution we created a msgid variable.  When added to the temporary file name using %msgid% the temporary file name is created with %msgid% in the name instead of the actual message id.  We put the variable into the "File Name Scheme" as well and the end completed file used the message id in the name.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    HI Matthew,
    Why are you adding the message id into the temporary file??
    I understand that you want the output of the filename to contain message id .. and hence you are using variable substitution for the same.
    Temporary file name will anyways get overwritten by the actual file name (here the actual filename will be using variable substituion).
    So i suggest to achieve your scenario you can add any name in the temporary file and maintain the desired filename you require as output in the variable subsititution.
    Temporary File Name option actually acts as a lock - unlock mechanism from PI side while the file is getting written to the file server so that while PI is writting the file no third party application batch program picks it up.
    I hope this helps.
    Cheers

    SQL> select tablespace_name, file_name from dba_temp_files;
    SQL> drop tablespace temp02 including contents and datafiles;
    SQL> create temporary tablespace temp02 tempfile ''X:\ORACLE\ORADATA\PROD\temp02.tmp' size 16383M;

  • Offline File Sync - Temp File Issues

    I just set up Offline File Sync and I've noticed that temp files (created when saving a file) are in still showing in my local folder. When I try to open one of these files, it says that it doesn't exist on the network location.
    It looks like the file is being created and then removed on the network but the local cache doesn't remove the copy properly. I've tried deleting the files as well as deleting temporary files via the Sync Center but neither work.
    I'd like to solve this so that the file list doesn't become crazy full with many saves from Excel files.
    Can someone please help?

  • SL and SMB file shares gives 'file already in use' errors

    Hi all,
    I'm posting a question which has been asked here before but not answered.
    We have several Mac users accessing files on a SMB share running on a Windows 2003 Server.
    Everything worked fine for years until they upgraded to Snow Leopard, then they started experiencing errors when saving changes to an already-created file; they are thrown the error "Could not save <filename> because the file is already in use or was left open" - however it is clearly not open and nobody else has accessed it from the share.
    There seems to be a lot of allusions made to this problem and I've seen hints that it was supposed to have been fixed in 10.6.3 - but we're still experiencing it and it's driving our users nuts!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have similar problems with my new MacPros loaded with SL 10.6.4. Every time when the next network user want to open the file the 1st user opened (closed already), it keeps saying the file is in use.

  • File shares not be re-created when restart the Server (Windows 2012 Std R2)

    Hi Team,
       We are facing below issue whenever restarting my server (windows 2012 R2 STD)
    1. File shares are invisible.
    2. Every time i need to restart server service to make file shares availability
    Please look in to the above issue and revert if any suggestion.
    Regards
    K Sreenivasan

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you create a file share under File and Storage Services but the file is invisible. If you restart the server make the file share, then you can see the file share.
    Can you see the file share when you directly create in Windows Explorer? Please check if you have enabled ABE on the file share.
