Last week we upgraded to tiger server 10.4.2 from 10.3.9 and we
performed the same on our workstations. They are being managed by
open directory on the group and computer level. I'm having some
problems with Office 2004 that are not present in their knowledge
base and did not occur in my test environment. What's happening
is as students close microsoft word they are getting a pop up box
saying Word cannot complete the operation because too many files
are open. (AutoRecovery save of Normal)
My first attempt at fixing it was disabling autosave and checking
to see if normal.dot had changed but it didn't appear that it had.
Anyone else experienced this?
This seems to be a manifestation of something we have seen here
that is also apparently 'solved' according to the various
'knowledge base' reports on the subject.
We get this error with 10.3.x clients to our AFP-mounted Unix
servers when users try and save *any* open file for a second time.
At the time, the only solution is to 'Save As..' an RTF file
instead of native Word format, or cut and paste the content of the
document in to a new one.
The only long-term solution we have adopted is to use SMB to mount
the volumes instead.
Better not upgrade to tiger then! From my testing it would seem that
if you are running from an SMB mounted network home then office will
not save anything onto your home share - it gives an error about the
disk being full. YOu can save to other places (even other smb
volumes) fine but infuriatingly not into your own home folder.
If anyone has Office 2004 and Tiger and SMB network homes working,
I'd love to hear about it.
Cheers,
