[Samba] Outlook + attached files

[Chris Jones]

Problem only started occuring when their files got moved onto the new samba
fileserver and its not just effecting one user but all that are on the new
server. People still on old windows fileserver are uneffected.

hi, sounds mor like a problem of outlook which version do you use, have you
looked
at technet if ms knows your failure,
do a test with a file stored on a networked windows client,
if you have same failure here its outlook
