Windows Server 2003 won't release files after users close them from their desktops
I have a server that will not release files after the users close them from their desktop. It is a mixed environment with Macs running os 10.8 and PC's running windows 7 SP 1. Users are graphic artists using anything from Indesign files to .pdf. Other users can be working in excel files, close the files then go back into them and they would appear as read only. What could be causing the server to keep them in use?
Many thanks in advance.

I'll turn on auditing to the share and keep an eye out for the next 24 hours.
