SbS 2008 file sharing to apple mac hanging when deleting
Hi
We have several Apple Macs (OS 10.5 upwards), they are connecting to a Small Business Server 2008 for file shares.
On occassion and more often then not the users are unable to delet folders off of the server, unable to rename files/folders.
I've done some googling but just seem to be hitting a brick wall.
Everything was working ok and in the last month this issue has come up and seems to be getting worse.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thank you in advance.

Try using Disk Utility to run Repair Permissions on the Macs.

I've done some futher investigation into the matter and just found what is the possible cause.
The folders that the users are having trouble deleting are filled with hidden files with the prefix '._' as well as another file .DS_Store.
Does this perhaps mean anything?

Thank you for the assistance.
The issue did lie with the '._' files. On removal all users were able to delete and move files/folders.
There seems to have been some sort of corruption somewhere along the line.
The issue is somewhat resolved for the time being.
