User cannot rename files and folders on Network Drive

by anthony.hunt . Updated 15 years, 9 months ago

One of my Users is unable to rename any files or folders on her networked Home drive(H:). She can however create and delete files and she can drag and drop files and folders. She also cannot use the “saveas” option in any office 2007 Application when working with files from her H: drive.

Here is the strange part. The name of her home drive folder is the same as her userid and if I, as system admin, rename it to something different then the problems go away. It also only happens on her laptop. If she logs in on another machine the problem is not there. I have checked all the permissions/ownership etc on the server and to her folders.

Environment:
Users folders are on a Win2003 R2 standard server.
Laptop is XP Pro SP2 with all windows updates.

This one is going to drive me crazy…
