A lot of MS Office files seems to be randomly locked by "any user" when I try to open them from CIFS mount point on a windows workstation. So the file opens read only and user can't edit it.

Is there is a way to completly desactivate locking function ?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 Nov 2012 10:16:48 GMT benalf 2012-11-30T10:16:48Z CIFS MS Office file locking https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-ms-office-file-locking/m-p/254037#M207167 Hello,I have locking problems with MS Office file using CIFS in alfresco 4.

Do you know the jira ticket corresponding to this issue ?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>And what do you propose as workaround ? This problem is a big issue for us, because we have a lot of MS Office document (I know that is an issue too&nbsp; :lol: ), so it become unusable and we are thinking to stop using alfresco.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Is there a way to desactivate file locking ? We prefer to have some update collison than not be able to update !</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:01:39 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-ms-office-file-locking/m-p/254039#M207169 benalf 2012-11-30T11:01:39Z Re: CIFS MS Office file locking https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-ms-office-file-locking/m-p/254040#M207170 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><A href="https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-12328" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-12328</A></BODY></HTML> Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:12:29 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-ms-office-file-locking/m-p/254040#M207170 sapodoble 2012-12-03T11:12:29Z Re: CIFS MS Office file locking https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-ms-office-file-locking/m-p/254041#M207171 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Nice sharing</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:13:51 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-ms-office-file-locking/m-p/254041#M207171 paviya 2012-12-05T11:13:51Z
