Two client sessions running on w2k8 server in WTS (rdesktop) - MS Office locking issue

[Jiri Sasek - Solaris Prague]

Hi community members,

I have the following issue:

Scenario:

1) Windows 2008R2 Terminal server with 2 users: userA and userB
2) Samba 3.6.x File server sharing the following share:

...
[testshare]
    comment = A test share
    path = /export/testshare/%U
    writable = yes
    printable = no
    create mask = 0765
...

userA connects his F: drive to \\samba-server\testshare (which points to 
/export/testshare/userA)
userB connects his F: drive to \\samba-server\testshare (which points to 
/export/testshare/userB)

3) UserA creates a Microsoft Word document on testshare with name 
1234.docx, saves, exits and opens the file again The file is 
/export/testshare/userA/1234.docx

4) UserB opens a file with the same name on testshare: 
/export/testshare/userB/1234.docx, but gets the following message:

'This action can't be completed because the file is open in another program'

This should not happen as both files are on different directories and 
have different inode numbers.

Note this happens only when using Windows Terminal server. It is know 
that Windows Terminal server opens 1 smb connection per share,hence 
userA and userB share the same connection and smbd daemon.

When the same is done on a Windows 2008R2 fileserver, this works without 
a problem.

It also works fine if the clients runs on Win desktops i.e. in 
VirtualBox even if those are over the virtual NAT so those are visible 
as one IP


...I have also find in knowledge base:

Symptoms:

Samba clients using Windows 2008 Terminal Server is slow accessing smb 
shares on Solaris Samba.
The performance issue becomes worse over time as more clients are using 
the share.

Cause:

This is a Microsoft limitation that it only creates one TCP session for 
all terminal server users when using SMB1 Protocol

Windows 2008 Terminal Server does not open one TCP session per user to 
SMB1 Protocol fileservers.
This behavior is by design. All users are using one SMB session to samba 
server which causes a bottleneck.

Solution: Implement SMB2 Protocol


Do anyone have an experience with this issue?

Many thanks,
Jiri
