[Samba] Excel and Samba Problem

Hello,

We have a problem with our Samba server (we tested with two versions 3.6.6 and 4.1.11).
When a User edit an Excel file and saves, another user can not save this edited later.
The temporary file named like 885E9010 will be created and Excel reports that this file can not be accessed.

I have test it with Windows and Mac. Both have the same Problem.

This is our samba configuration:

[global]
   security = domain
   workgroup = company
   netbios name = fileserver
   winbind separator = /
   winbind use default domain = yes
   winbind cache time = 300
   encrypt passwords = true
   server string = FILESERVER
   log level = 0
   max log size = 1024000
   unix extensions = No
   logon path = \\fileserver3\profiles\%U
   logon home = \\fileserver3\Profiles\%U
   logon drive = H:
   logon script = logon.bat
   block size = 4096
   max protocol = SMB2

[Data]
   path = /data/
   browseable = yes
   writeable = yes
   force group = Intern
   valid users = @Intern
   create mask = 0660
   directory mask = 0770
   vfs objects = full_audit recycle
   full_audit:prefix = %u
   full_audit:success = mkdir rename rmdir unlink pwrite
   full_audit:failure = none
   full_audit:facility = LOCAL5
   full_audit:priority = NOTICE
   recycle:versions = yes
   recycle:exclude = .*, ~*


And here are the rights for the Files on Samba Server:

535041902  4 drwxrwx---  3 user.a Intern       4096 Feb 19 12:35 .
535041673  0 -rw-rw----  1 userb      Intern          0 Feb 19 12:35 885E9010
535041669 68 -rw-rw----  1 usera      Intern      69492 Feb 19 12:34 Testfile.xlsx
535037291  4 -rw-rw----  1 userb      Intern        171 Feb 19 12:35 ~$Testfile.xlsx
535037292  4 -rw-rw----  1 userb     Intern       4096 Feb 19 12:35 ._~$Testfile.xlsx


yours sincerely
Oliver
