Programs unable to create files on share after SP2

I recently installed SP2 om my server 2003 R2. Since then some third party
applications on clients has not been able to create files on shares hosted on
the server. I.e. if you convert a document to PDF Adobe 8 can't create the
file on the share. However, the user can create the file locally and move the
file via explorer to she share just fine.

Users has the right to create files on the share, share permissions are set
to full.

It is just some applications that experience this problem, others work just
fine as before. Is there a policy setting to correct this behavior?

Regards,
DK

if the application is not running in another users context, there should be
no permission based problem.
Is there anything to find in the event logs of client/server?
Other possibilities which come into my mind:
Virus scanner on client or server site may block or delay the process long
enough to make the application "think" it cannot write.
Different settings for the SMB signing between client and server (or
sometimes issues on top caused by some network card drivers).

Files on network shares open slowly, opens as read-only, or you receive an
error message
is a bit older, but also contains links to some more related KB articles as
well.

Hi Olaf, thanks for your reply.

Nothing shows up in the event log on the server nor the client. My clients
are all fully patched XP SP2 machines. The fixes to the kb articles you
mention seems to be incorperated in the service pack. No changes has been
made to the AV so I do not think that would be the issue since it worked just
fine recently.

I reccon there is some kind of policy or rights problem that took effect
after my upgrade to SP2 on the server. I'll look into ot today and see if I
can get it going.

kind regards,
DK
