Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

One of our clients is complaining that multiple people are having difficulty opening Microsoft Office Documents (new and old filetypes, .doc and .docx, for example) in a timely matter over AFP or SMB. This occurs in both Office 2004 and 2008.

The clients (running Leopard) are accessing these documents from an Xserve running Leopard Server (10.5.2) that is hosted remotely. No one has access to their server locally.

We tried reproducing this issue in the evening time and did not see a problem. The client is still reporting problems from multiple users.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks!

No "useful" suggestions.  Apple and Microsoft are both working on some nasty
file transport issues to do with the network transport.

We are hoping that the Microsoft update that is due out shortly will offer
some relief, but the problem is dependant upon both companies issuing
updates.

Sorry!
