Recently, we have noticed that these 'TEMP' foldersare created but aren't truncating (once the file is closed) on the file server. Photoshop for mac full. Users open up documents on their desktops (Office 365/ 2016) and the temp files appear (Ex: FILENAME.docx.sb-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx). Finding and using the temporary and auto save files Excel doesn't have the AutoSave feature enabled as default, you have to add it. This is because it isn't always practical to have this functionality enabled.

We have a client using Office for Mac 2011. When she opens up an excel file that her or someone else created on the server it will create the temporary file as normal, but when she closes out of excel the temp file doesn't remove itself.

Anyone who tried to open it gets the error that its still in use and they can only open it as read only. She's on a 2 or 3 year old macbook pro with OS X 10.9.5 Bound to the domain (Windows 2012 server) Plugged in via ethernet Office for Mac 2011 with latest updates What I have tried: Clean install of office after I completely removed all of Microsoft office from her machine(Application folder, library, application support, etc.) Repaired disk permissions Left domain and then rejoined it Connected to server share with my credentials (Domain administrator) No one else has this problem. I have tested both my new macbook pro retina on OS X 10.10 with Office 2011 and a Windows 7 laptop and both act as they should. I'm not sure what else to try out as it seems to be an issue with her system. Next time I am at their office I will try logging in as a different user and see if its a profile issue. Other than that I'm stumped.

How many Mac clients do you have accessing this file server? Also, what version of OSX are they on? I'm not trying to hammer you with questions.

I used to Admin some fairly large sites in NYC where they had dozens of OSX machines accessing Windows SMB file shares. We had TONS of lingering permissions issues like this (believe it or not, it probably is a permission issue due to not-so-good SMB file support on older versions of OSX). If you're running Mavericks (10.9) or higher, SMB2 is the way to go. Regardless, I'd take a look at an AMAZING tool called Extreme Z-IP. It solved these issues for us for good.

Thats the funny thing I forgot to mention. She should automatically authenticate but it wont.

And im wondering if there is a problem with her profile itself. I logged in her account on a different mac on the domain and it connected to the share without a problem and didn't ask for credentials. Originally she had a mac off the domain. So I bound it to the domain then logged in with her domain profile and made the mobile account. Then logged out.

Renamed her domain home folder to user_old so I could give her original home folder the name of the domain folder first.last then did a chown -R on that directory and logged in with all of her stuff in place as before as to appear nothing different. I did this process for all of the macs without a problem and she is the only one with this excel issue. I'm not sure if the issue automatically authenticating is whats causing the problem or not.

Because I can connect to the share with my domain credentials and it makes no difference. I will try loggin in as a different user and see if that makes a difference. If so then I know its profile problem on her machine. So I tried the quicklook fix and that didn't work Logged in as my domain admin account without any luck either Made a local account and opened up the file through the server and still same results. The one thing I did accomplish is that logging in with a different domain profile it authenticated with the server fine. So I know her profile needs to be redone. There was also an office update that must have just come out within the past week so I applied that and no change either.
