I upgraded to Server 2012 R2 (from 2008 R2) and upgraded to Office 2013 (from Office 2010). Since the upgrade, Office files saved to Network DFS shares are being saved without an owner. The files are on the shares but cannot be accessed and are not listed when viewed via the share. The files are be viewed directly on the file server. To gain access the ownership must be changed.
This does not happen when folders or files are created from other applications. Folders can be created from clients via the share. Files can be created from the clients using Notepad and WordPad. Office documents can be copied to the share from the clients local drive, but if these files are accessed and changed using either Office 2010 or Office 2013 and saved back to the share they are saved without an owner.
The Share Permissions are Authenticated Users has Full Control.
The NTFS Permissions on a typical folder is:
The Administrators and SYSTEM group has Full Control to This folder, subfolders and files.
The CREATOR OWNER group has Full Control to Subfolders and files.
The Authenticated Users group has Modify to This folder, and subfolders and files.
Once ownership is taken the files has the Permissions inherited from the folder.
Before the upgrade this was not an issue. The domain was upgrade doing a clean install of all servers and clients and a fresh install of the applications. The only thing rolled from the old environment to the new was the data.
I also posted this issue to the office forum.
Thanks you for any help you can provide.
